📖Book Club
August 19th @ 6pm
At the next meeting of the Book and Wine Club on Wednesday, August 19, meet the USA Today Bestselling Author, Michelle Collins Anderson. She has written two books: “The Flower Sisters” and “The Moonshine Women.”
At 6:00 pm, Heather will start the program by asking Michelle a few questions about her book released in March “The Moonshine Women” and open the floor for audience questions. After the Q&A, we will order dinner off a limited menu, enjoy some beverages and discuss the best books we have read this year.
“The Moonshine Women” is set in the Prohibition era Missouri Ozarks, where three sisters take over their father’s moonshine business in an evocative story of reinvention, sisterhood, and the alchemy of love.
Every batch of Strong moonshine has its own special flavor, thanks to the secret ingredients that matriarch Lidy Strong adds to the barrels of fermenting corn mash. Whether a bucketful of golden peaches, a ripe melon or juicy, jewel-toned berries, that extra “something something” is what makes the Strong “shine” so prized—and allows the family to survive after crop prices plummeted in the wake of the Great War.
Each of the Strong sisters, too, is distinct. Stoic, steadfast Rebecca would rather be with her beloved farm animals or off hunting in the woods than socializing. Middle sister Elsie is kindhearted, beautiful—and itching for a life more thrilling than the farm can offer. Jace, the youngest, is known far and wide as “Shine,” a name that suits her fiery personality and flaming red hair as much as her innate skill with a still.
Their father, Hiram, has been drowning himself in grief and liquor ever since his wife died. But the moonshine business is unforgiving, especially with Prohibition agents turning up in every creek and holler. When tragedy strikes, it falls to the Strong women to keep the still running, the family together, and hope burning on the horizon.
From the Ozark mountains edged in oak and pine, to the outlaw paradise of Hot Springs, Arkansas—where gangsters like Al Capone line the bar at the Southern Club—the sisters’ quests for vengeance, healing, and love will drive them forward, in search of a future as transformative and powerful as the purest Strong moonshine.
We hope to see you August 19th!

📚Lit Happens
August 11th @ 6pm
Lit Happens met on 7/14 to discuss Once Upon a Time in Russia: The Rise of the Oligarchs—A True Story of Ambition, Wealth, Betrayal, and Murder by Ben Mezrich. The group really enjoyed this book as it read like a true crime novel while educating us about a riveting time in Russian history that few of us understood.
Next month (8/11) we travel back to 15th century France and the time of the 100-years War and Joan of Arc. We will be discussing the book Joan of Arc written by Mark Twain. While a diversion from most of Twain’s other works. Twain says “I like Joan of Arc best of all my books; and it is the best”
