About the event

Beyond the Book
This book discussion group sponsored by the United Women in Faith meets in the SUMC Library on the fourth Saturday of the month. They share perspectives and conversation while enjoying great fellowship and snacks with coffee, tea and water. They will meet on Saturday, September 27, at 10:00 a.m., to discuss "The Book Woman’s Daughter," by Kim Michele Richardson. This is the sequel to The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek which the group read in 2024. It follows Honey Lovett, the daughter of the beloved Troublesome book woman, who must fight for her own independence with the help of the women who guide her and the books that set her free. Picking up her mother's old packhorse library route,Honey begins to deliver books to the remote hollers of Appalachia, looking to prove that she doesn't need anyone telling her how to survive. But the route can be treacherous, and some folks aren't as keen to let a woman pave her own way. If Honey wants to bring the freedom books to the families who need it most, she's going to have to fight for her place, and along the way, learn that the extraordinary women who run the hills and hollers can make all the difference in the world. For more information, please contact the church office, 703-451-8223.
