Book Clubs are Therapeutic!

Our last read was an autobiography and the author was present. She gave insight to her world of abuse for a period of two years. Her story was so compelling that it encouraged others to come forth and disclose their lives of abuse. One lady had held hers in and at the end of the meeting, opened up. Two of the members just held her close for support and the rest of us formed a circle around them, held hands and sent up silent prayers. The moment became so emotional that there wasn't a dry eye in the place. At that moment, we experienced a divine intervention that was inexplicable, but we knew God had interceded through us. The member's demeanor changed from depressed to uplifted in a matter of minutes. She explained that she needed us and our spiritual support to help her through her situation.

Yes, we read and we most definitely EAT! But our main focus is ON the friendship bonds created.
