The Girls from Ames has a local connection

I'm becoming more and more intrigued by this book, especially as many of my friendships are now in their second decade, along with this book club. It turns out one of the Girls lives here in NC and is a cancer survivor- http://unclineberger.org/news/2009/release0730/

What an interesting woman. I enjoyed hearing this interview. I am still interested in reading this book as well. I'm having regrets for choosing the Lace Reader instead!

Sonya: It sounds like you have a wonderful book club --and I love the name of it. Very creative! If your club chooses to read "The Girls from Ames," I'd be happy to join you in your discussion. We can also have Author Jeff Zaslow call-in if you'd like. If interested, feel free to contact me through my Facebook page at www.facebook.com/abjamison.

Angela, we'd love to have you join us! What an honor.

Here's a blog that is maintained by two women in their 80s - about their 60 year long friendship. Do you think our book club will make it that far? :)
