"I ended up buying 3 copies. One I sent to my sister for her birthday, the original copy is circulating in the Ward, and a 3rd copy is with a friend at the moment, but eventually destined to go to my daughter in Vancouver. I have read it 3 times in 3 weeks. I am so struck by the book, story wise and gospel wise. I have found the recipe for Cecil's and have made it once and I'm tweaking the recipe to make it easier and pass along. I have a Fanny Farmer Cookbook. I already had some Bay Rum--my husband wore it--it was his favorite. I have found the song "Dear Evalina, Sweet Evalina". The extra verse to Redeemer of Israel is in our own hymnal--at the bottom, where we never look. I have read and reread Mosiah 4: 16-25 and Mosiah 18: 8-10. I have read it so many times over my lifetime and have it heavily marked, but it is as if I see and hear with new eyes. I read it over and over. I am underlining every time I see "and it came to pass" to remind me that it never says "and it came to stay." This is a new saying for my life and its trials.
It is my desire to share these things with as many people as possible. Granted, whoever comes to Book Club will come, but I think we should encourage people to come even though they haven't read the book--expand our contact list.. If no one steps up and offers, I will offer to host. And we could also have it at the Church if need be. I will make Cecils, if someone will bring a drink.
Forgive me for being so bold. This happens to me every once in a while in varying degrees, with either a book or music. When something touches me, I just want to share. Let me know what you think. Don't let me get out of control!!!"This sounds like it will be a fun night and I hope a lot of you can make it!
