Ashton Lee

The Cherry Cola Book Club Ashton Lee

In a small town in Mississippi, a young, upbeat librarian has been given an ultimatum: increase the librarys circulation dramatically or close its doors. Maura doesnt just start a book club; she gets involved in unique and unexpected ways with her patrons. She entertains and advises, she has potluck dinners, and life in the town begins to imitate art. The patrons begin to relate their own lives to the work of writers like Margaret Mitchell and Harper Lee. In moving and personal ways, Maura helps them deal with such subjects as long-lost love and a brush with death. No topic is off limits. Along the way, Maura raises the profile of the librarybut will it be enough?
