What We Keep by Elizabeth Berg

This was one of the best book club books that we have done. It garnered enough discussion to last us several hours. We did get off topic a couple of times (we always do), but it was mostly relating the book to our own lives and those of people we know.

As the book opens, the main character is flying to see her mom, whom she and her sister have not talked to in 35 years. Her sister is about to find out whether or not she has cancer and she feels they should reconnect with their mother, in case. We hear most of the story through the main character's reminiscences on the plane flight there. Their mother did something horrible all those years ago. Can you wait to find out what?

Hi Erin,

You were probably really good at book summaries in school! You should consider writing for a literary mag, or something (what with all your free time...). Thanks for telling me you read my blog. I was beginning to wonder... Now to figure out how I can subscribe to yours... Your boys are big and handsome!! Serious cuteness!! Congrats on being an Aunt-To-Be!

Love,
Kelly
