NEPM Book Club: 'Scorched Grace'

Do you love to read? So do we! That’s why we’ve launched the NEPM Book Club — a quarterly virtual meet-up dedicated to bringing NEPM friends together to chat about new, diverse and interesting fiction.

Our next meeting will be Thursday, July 13 at 7 p.m. We're tackling the first book in the new Sister Holiday mysteries, "Scorched Grace," by western Masssachusetts' own Margot Douaihy.
