The Girls from Ames Book Club Meeting

Angela Bendorf Jamison, one of the eleven friends chronicled in The Girls From Ames, was our special guest at our book club meeting this month. Angela found us through one of our blog posts and graciously offered to come to one of our meetings. She answered all of our questions and updated us on the girls' lives. We had a great discussion about friendship and how it changes with the various stages of life. It was particularly interesting to get the behind-the-scenes scoop on how the book came together, the publication process and what's next for the group. Angela also posed for a picture with us - she's the second from the right in the back row.

Thanks for coming Angela!
