by By Clayton, Meg Waite
Category: Fiction , Literary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERFive women, one passion, and the unbreakable bond of friendship  When five young  mothers—Frankie, Linda, Kath, Ally, and Brett—first meet in a neighborhood park in  the late 1960s, their conversations center on marriage, raising children, and a shared  love of books. Then one evening, as they gather to watch the Miss America Pageant,  Linda admits that she aspires to write a novel herself, and the Wednesday Sisters  Writing Society is born. The five women slowly, and often reluctantly, start filling  journals, sliding pages into typewriters, and sharing their work. In the process,  they explore the changing world around them: the Vietnam War, the race to the moon,  and a women’s movement that challenges everything they believe about themselves.  At the same time, the friends carry one another through more personal changes—ones  brought about by infidelity, longing, illness, failure, and success. With one another’s support and encouragement, the Wednesday Sisters begin to embrace who they are  and what they hope to become, welcoming readers to experience, along with them, the  power of dreaming big.
