Its on a heavy heart I send out this email. Im sad that Kelly will not be facilitating our book club any longer. As for Fabulous Fiction, I have volunteered to take over this next meeting so that we wont be wandering...

Intro:
I've been with FF since 2009. I started up the blog: http://www.westgate-fabulousfiction.blogspot.com/ as a way for other women to join in on the fun if they havent been receiving the emails or have lost them. I dont think I've missed a one...even when I didnt read it I went because I felt it necessary to still show up and fellowship.

We will discuss our book:
Far From Here by Nicole Baart
"Danica Greene has always hated flying, so it was almost laughable that the boy of her dreams was a pilot. She married him anyway and together, she and Etsell settled into a life where love really did seem to conquer all. Danica is firmly rooted on the ground in Blackhawk, the small town in northern Iowa where they grew up, and the wide slashes of sky that stretch endlessly across the prairie seem more than enough for Etsell. But when the opportunity to spend three weeks in Alaska helping a pilot friend presents itself, Etsell accepts and their idyllic world is turned upside down. It’s his dream, he reveals, and Danica knows that she can’t stand in the way. Ell is on his last flight before heading home when his plane mysteriously vanishes shortly after takeoff, leaving Danica in a free fall.

Etsell is gone, but what exactly does gone mean? Is she a widow? An abandoned wife? Or will Etsell find his way home to her? Danica is forced to search for the truth in her marriage and treks to Alaska to grapple with the unanswerable questions about her husband’s mysterious disappearance. But when she learns that Ell wasn’t flying alone and that a woman is missing, too, the bits and pieces of the careful life that she had constructed for them in Iowa take to the wind. A story of love and loss, and ultimately starting over, Far From Here explores the dynamics of intimacy and the potentially devastating consequences of the little white lies we tell the ones we love."

The last 10 minutes or so we will talk about how everyone feels about the continuation of our bookclub, who will facilitate it, and the overall future of our group. We hope that you will come and join in on the discussion. If for some reason you cant come but have an opinion, please email me and I will bring it along so everyone has a say!

Thank you and see you March 20th at Orchard Valley Coffee in Campbell at 7pm.
