Book Club | “Signal Fires” by Dani Shapiro (Hybrid)

Gather with other book lovers to discuss a book each month that is chosen a couple of months before a meeting. Our Book Club is a warm and dynamic group of people who meet to share and discuss good reads, expand their perspectives, and get to know one another through lively discussion. All are welcome at any time!

The book choice for our May meeting is the novel Signal Fires by Dani Shapiro.

Signal Fires is mainly a meditation on families—the secrets we keep, the hurts we don’t mean to inflict—and how those secrets and hurts play out over time.

Be sure to keep an eye out for our monthly newsletter with details about the upcoming book and its author. If you are not on our Book Club list, and would like to be added, please reach out to Lynn Burke Harrell.
