The hardest way of learning is that of easy reading; but a great book that comes from a great thinker is a ship of thought, deep freighted with truth and beauty.”  Theodore Parker (1810 - 1860) We are a collection of women from all walks of life who share a common love for the written word and dialogue.  While our focus is on African-American Literature, we are open to reading it all and promise a lively discussion no matt …
