![]() This is why the entertainment value is given 4 stars and the depth of meaning 2. It’s about a party, about being entertained. Largely, this book is about getting to know this delightful circle of friends. They are always there for each other, to help each other through. They just keep on living, keep on working towards a better life. Heck, 7 out of 12 of them have faced and overcome cancer! The vital element is that they don’t let these setbacks upset the ebb and flow of daily life. Our friends at the Christmas Cookie Club have all faced some pretty big problems in their day-lost jobs, husbands who are unfaithful or who just don’t want to have any more kids, children who have met their deaths in tragic accidents, daughters encountering a string of miscarriages and still-births or, on the flip side, are pregnant at eighteen thanks to an ex-con, rap superstar wannabe. Our narrator, Marnie, tells us stories of each woman as she presents-stories of how Marnie first got to know her, stories of the troubles that each woman faces, stories of how she is working to overcome her setbacks. Together they form the cookie club, a holiday institution. Preview " The Christmas Cookie Club" recounts the interwoven stories of Marnie and eleven of her closest girlfriends. ![]() ![]() Follow the link at the bottom of this page to read about my interview with her.
