So, have you checked out the new HSB Literary Club? 

You must join us.  Why? Because it is going to be: A) Fun  B) Educational  C) Enlightening  D) Encouraging and the best part about it, is that we are going to start with my very favorite book, Ishmael.  

When I first saw the book Ishmael, I thought *boring*.  It conjured up dreary dry scenes of sand and deserts or of a little wild boy with a knife who would grow up to start an Islamic nation.  

Nope. Nothing of the sort. This story is set in the mid 1800’s in Maryland and Virginia.  The story is so complex and rich and full.  I was so sad when it was over.  Hence my mad rush to buy any book I could find written by E.D.E.N Southworth.   So order the book now so we can all start reading it together in a couple weeks.  This book will seriously BLESS you.
