The Wild Women of Lake Anna

The Wild Women of Lake Anna by Linda Salisbury was the featured book for our Mother, Daughter and Dessert Book Club. We meet last night and had the honor of having the author join us for our meeting!

Here is Mrs. Salisbury....

We started the meeting off with a little ice-breaker, Shelly the facilitator of the Book Club had this little bingo type game for use to play, which was a lot of fun and got everyone up and mingling. After our ice-breaker we had a chance to share what we enjoyed about the book afterwards had time for a question and answer session with Mrs. Salisbury.

The Wild Women of Lake Anna is the first book in a series of 6 right now, the author is working on book 7 now. What was so cool for me was that the story takes place not too far from where we live - Lake Anna. There is mention of other familiar places like Fredericksburg, Mineral, Route 522 and a few other places in our neck of the woods! I also learned that Virginia was ranked third for gold mining, the author said people are still panning for gold around Lake Anna!

This was a delightful book about Bailey Fish, who is eleven and has to leave her home in Florida to live with her grandmother Sugar, while her mother goes to Costa Rica. Bailey has to put up with a bully, and the bully's father is out to get Sugar. Baily learns she comes from a long line of "wild" women who are courageous and adventurous. Both Nicole and I enjoyed reading the book and are looking forward to diving into the other books in the series.
