At this session, we will discuss The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post by Allison Pataki. An intimate portrait of a larger-than-life woman, a powerful story of one woman falling in love with her own voice and embracing her own power while shaping history in the process. Marjorie was inspired by a few simple rules: always think for yourself, never take success for granted, and work hard.

“Here is an intriguing plunge into the very soul of a woman who walked both the hard and the beautiful roads of life and deserves to be remembered. The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post is transportive fiction at its best!”—Susan Meissner, bestselling author of The Nature of Fragile Things

Discussion leaders: Amy Curran Baker (author of Now What? A Guide to Recovery After Mastectomy) and Fran Contino.
