Great suggestions for Summer reading! Our Lykion Book Club will discuss "Under an African Sky" (by our own Elene Catrakilis) in September!
📚✨ Daughters of Penelope Foundation Inc. Monthly Reading Suggestions ✨📚
While we don't have a formal book club, we love encouraging our members and friends to discover new stories, perspectives, and adventures through reading.
This month's recommended reads are:
📖 The Golden Boy by Patricia Finn
A moving, multi-generational story about friendship, marriage, loss, and redemption. When an unexpected letter forces Stafford Hopkins to confront his past, long-buried memories and relationships resurface, offering a chance for healing and second chances.
📖 The Night We Met by Abby Jimenez
A heartfelt contemporary romance about how one split-second decision can change the course of a life. Larissa and Chris share an undeniable connection, but circumstances, timing, and loyalty stand between them as they navigate friendship, love, and life's difficult choices.
📖 Under an African Sky by Elene Catrakilis
Set in South Africa during the final years of apartheid, this powerful novel follows the friendship of two women from very different backgrounds as they face political upheaval, family struggles, and questions of loyalty, forgiveness, and hope.
Whether you're relaxing with a cup of coffee, enjoying a quiet evening, or looking for your next great read, we hope one of these books finds a place on your reading list.
