The Clock of Life by Nancy Klann-Moren is a compelling book-club delight that engaged our members in lively discussions running the gamut from race relations in the Deep South to mental illness; from the Vietnam War to coping with death; from what it means to be a friend to what it means to be a hero. Our members were thrilled when the author joined us to share insights into her writing process. And our clever hostess served Mint Juleps and a Amalgamation cake, both taken directly from the novel. What fun! Eva Ditler, Coronado Book Babes Book Club
