Let’s Try This Again! Lulu Dean’s Little Library of Banned Books. Bring your own coffee and maybe a sweet treat to share. We’ll be meeting at Donna’s beautiful home !

“Kirsten Miller has that rare ability to take a serious subject and make it very, very funny. I enjoyed this novel and you will too.”--James Patterson

The provocative and hilarious summer read that will have book lovers cheering and everyone talking! Kirsten Miller, author of The Change, brings us a bracing, wildly entertaining satire about a small Southern town, a pitched battle over banned books, and a little lending library that changes everything.

Beverly Underwood and her arch enemy, Lula Dean, live in the tiny town of Troy, Georgia, where they were born and raised. Now Beverly is on the school board, and Lula has become a local celebrity by embarking on mission to rid the public libraries of all inappropriate books—none of which she’s actually read. To replace the “pornographic” books she’s challenged at the local public library, Lula starts her own lending library in front of her home: a cute wooden hutch with glass doors and neat rows of the worthy literature that she’s sure the town’s readers need.

What Lula doesn’t know is that a local troublemaker has stolen her wholesome books, removed their dust jackets, and restocked Lula’s library with banned books: literary classics, gay romances, Black history, witchy spell books, Judy Blume novels, and more. One by one, neighbors who borrow books from Lula Dean’s library find their lives changed in unexpected ways. Finally, one of Lula Dean’s enemies discovers the library and decides to turn the tables on her, just as Lula and Beverly are running against each other to replace the town’s disgraced mayor.

That’s when all the townspeople who’ve been borrowing from Lula’s library begin to reveal themselves. That's when the showdown that’s been brewing between Beverly and Lula will roil the whole town...and change it forever.

We are a group of women Baby Boomers ( Baby Boomers are the generation generally defined as people born from 1946 to 1964, during the post-World War II Baby Boom ) who live or like activities on the East side. This group is limited to fifty women plus or minus.

We hope to bring together women new to our community, newly “single”, or any ladies wanting to learn a new skill, get some exercise, or to get out and make new friends.Tucson is an incredibly diverse and unique area of the country! I hope you will come explore with me.

RSVPs:

Only sign up if you really intend to go, want to go, make a plan to go.

It is not only kind and considerate but very helpful for you to change your RSVP from a “Yes” to a “No” as soon as you know you have a conflict for the date of the event. There are typically others on the event waiting list that would like to take your spot if vacated in a timely manner. In addition, we are required to give the venue twenty-four hours advance notice of the headcount for the appropriate staffing levels. A lot of planning goes into an event such as arrangements for a private room and separate checks, etc. That being said, this group requires a twenty-four hour cancellation notification; exceptions for medical emergencies and illness only, Consideration is Mandatory ! RSVP cancellation less than twenty-four hours before an event will count as a “no-show”.

You will be removed from the group for the following reasons:

· Two “No Shows 😫
