Quoted: Rebecca has lived most of her life similarly to her mother, valuing personal independence over all else. Getting pregnant changed that. "Until you become a mother, you're a daughter," Rebecca writes. In her case, that also means a chance to be the parent she wishes she'd had. But lest she hold herself to too high a standard, it's worth considering that motherhood is, by nature, a bifurcating force: Childbirth threatens to split you literally in two, but good parenting does it emotionally, again and again.

Christian Bell recommends this book. Dotting ... er, Faving ... for future reference when it's my turn to pick again for our book club.
Quoted: Robinson's beautiful new novel, a companion piece to her Pulitzer Prize–winning Gilead, is an elegant variation on the parable of the prodigal son's return.

Cool idea. The local library has a Book Group Collection. Will have to check it out for my book club.
Quoted: The titles in this collection are signed out as sets -10 copies to a set - to any book group member with an Everett library card, to share with other members of their book group. Each set includes a discussion packet to enhance the reading experience and discussion.
