October 27, 2012 (October Book Club)

The book club I am a part of took a field trip out to one of my favorite wineries, Delaplane Cellars, to discuss the October book, Anna Quindlen's Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake. Anna is one of my favorite writers of all time. Her Newsweek column about September 11th remains one of the most poignant things I read about the attacks, and her book A Short Guide to A Happy Life has been an anchor for me at various points in my life. A trip to the country felt like the proper way to celebrate her memoir.
