Upcoming Book Discussion
Start reading now for WRJ/TBK Sisterhood’s upcoming Book Discussion with Lynda Schuster, author of
Dirty Wars and Polished Silver
Her memoir,
Dirty Wars and
Polished Silver
, chronicles her time covering foreign wars and her life as the wife of a United States ambassador. It begins and ends in Israel.
Read the book, and then come together with other readers to Skype with Ms. Schuster to discuss the book’s genesis, content, and writing style. We anticipate that our discussion will take place in May, so start reading now! This opportunity is open for all, not just Sisterhood members.
