Ladies Book Club

Celebrating Our 10th Season

The Ladies Book Club will kick off our 10th season with a special presentation of the best-selling Bad Blood, one of the most-talked-about books of the season. For this meeting only, we are inviting the men of NYC to join us and participate in what’s sure to be a very lively introduction and discussion.

The Ladies Book Club is a special time for NYC ladies to gather in an informal setting to enjoy the company of other book lovers and discuss interesting titles over a specially prepared luncheon from Chef Jan Hoffman and his team.

If you’ve joined us before, we welcome you back. If you’ve never attended, you will become part of one of the most popular activities at NYC. Each meeting is open seating and guests are always welcome. The small table format is friendly and relaxed. Please come prepared for the discussion, and plan to arrive by 11:15 a.m. Reservations are a must!

We look forward to another great season and many thanks for your participation and support.

by Robert Dugoni

Sam Hell always saw the world through different eyes. Born with red pupils, he was called “Devil Boy” by his classmates, but “God’s will” is what his mother called his ocular albinism. Her words were of little comfort to the sensitive child, but Sam persevered, buoyed by his mother’s devout faith, his father’s practical wisdom, and his two misfit friends.
