BOOK DISCUSSION: "Calling Invisible Women" by Jeanne Ray

Join us for a discussion of Jeanne Ray's novel "Calling Invisible Women".
 A mom in her early fifties, Clover knows she no longer turns heads the
way she used to, and she's only really missed when dinner isn't on the
table on time. Then Clover wakes up one morning to discover she's
invisible--truly invisible. She panics even more when her family doesn't
notice a thing. Her best friend immediately observes the change, which
relieves Clover immensely--she's not losing her mind after all!--but she
is crushed by the realization that neither her husband nor her children
ever truly look at her. She was invisible even before she knew it.   

   Clover
discovers that there are others like her, women of a certain age who
seem to have disappeared.  As she uses her invisibility to get to know
her family and her town better, Clover leads the way in helping
invisible women become recognized and appreciated no matter what their
role.
