| Dorene Higgins OK, now I've joined as a PERSON instead of a business, which I wanted to do in the first place. So, I will be eliminating Inside Moves as a member of the book group.

| Trisha This months book is The Pirate's Daughter by Margaret Cezair-Thompson
In 1946 Hollywood's most famous swashbuckler, Errol Flynn, arrived in Jamaica in a storm-ravaged boat. After a long and celebrated career on the silver screen, Flynn spent the last few years of his life on a small island off the Jamaican coast, where he fell in love with the people,the paradisiacal setting, and the privacy and brought a touch of Tinseltown glamour to the West Indian community.
Based on those years, the Pirate's Daughter imagines an affair between the aging matinee star and Ida, a beautiful local girl. Flynn's affections are unpredictable, but that doesn't stop Ida from dreaming of a life with him, especially after the birth of their daughter, May.
Margaret Cezair-Thompson weaves stories of mothers and daughters, fathers and lovers, country and kin, into this compelling dual-generational coming-of-age tale of two women struggling to find their way in a nation wrestling with its own independence.
I think this book will be a nice way to forget the long winter we have been having!
Hope everyone enjoys the story and thank you to all of those who made this suggestion along with the others.

 | Caroline Thank You for All Things
By Sandra Kring
Eleven-year-old Lucy McGowan, future psychologist is leaving Chicago– along with her “profoundly gifted” twin brother, Milo, her commitment-phobic mother, and her New Age grandmother– to care for her dying grandfather.
Lucy believes her time in Timber Falls, Wisconsin, will provide key pieces to the puzzle of her family’s broken past and the mystery surrounding her own father’s identity. But what she discovers there is s much more– a lesson about the paradoxes of love and the grace of forgiveness that the adults around her will need help remembering if their family is ever to find peace and embrace the future.
Thank You for All Things is a powerful and poignant novel by a brilliant story teller who illustrates that when it comes to matters of family and love, often it is the innocent who force others to confront their darkest secrets.
