They have a secretary, bylaws, and even minutes read from the last book club meeting. I enjoyed lovely carrot cake and sweet iced tea in a beautiful, historic home, and a great discussion of the first book of The Broad River Trilogy, On the Eighteenth of May, with a lovely group of women. Thank you to Price Thrower for inviting me, and to Mary Sumner for hosting this in her beautiful home! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6266b83d79626642fe75e055/1651248413585-QICDP9814H2XJGD59QXA/Website+Book+Clubs+1.jpg Book Clubs Page - Book Club Visits https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6266b83d79626642fe75e055/1651248415142-XU7AM4OJ6N9H1NLHZPVZ/Website+Book+Clubs+2.jpg Book Clubs Page - Book Club Visits https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6266b83d79626642fe75e055/121b2f83-69fc-4879-951a-5549e633332f/Ladies+Out+3.jpg Book Clubs Page - Book Club Visits - Make it stand out Teresa P - organizer extraordinaire and the leader who is able to keep this group together after so many years! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6266b83d79626642fe75e055/2541c283-8336-4206-981e-d75194ce1eec/Old+Guard+9.jpg Book Clubs Page - Book Club Visits - Make it stand out The amazing Jaime W - a school principal who read the entire trilogy and who even saw her name pop up in Book 3! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6266b83d79626642fe75e055/d243dad0-0e7e-449b-a4d1-4c0ea956d8fd/lIBRARY+CLUB+2.jpg Book Clubs Page - Book Club Visits - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.jordanrsamuel.com/info-for-book-clubs/book-club-appearances monthly 0.5 2022-10-26 https://www.jordanrsamuel.com/info-for-book-clubs/book-club-materials monthly 0.5 2022-04-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6266b83d79626642fe75e055/1650987971733-Q7IXBVRACK3V7TMCKZ4C/BOOK+DISCUSSION+GUIDE+-+On+the+Eighteenth+of+May+-+Jordan+R.+Samuel+%281%29.png Book Clubs Page - Book Club Materials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6266b83d79626642fe75e055/1650987980591-N1A3HPMGXLXPZXZKXX5P/BOOK+DISCUSSION+GUIDE+-+Across+the+Broken+Bridge+-+Jordan+R.+Samuel-1.jpg Book Clubs Page - Book Club Materials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6266b83d79626642fe75e055/1650987982676-WF931717JHW5V3EFAYOW/Book+3+Discussion+Guide+%28Compressed%29+%283%29+%281%29-1.png Book Clubs Page - Book Club Materials https://www.jordanrsamuel.com/my-story-1 daily 1.0 2025-08-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6266b83d79626642fe75e055/dfd6824e-61ad-4e45-b979-b4b890ef4a05/Webiste+Rumbling+Bald+2.JPG My Story - As mentioned above, Rumbling Bald Resort has long been a favorite spot for my family to vacation and just to visit for a quick day trip. The view from the Legends Restaurant balcony is one of my personal favorites, and I also love taking long walks through the resort itself. There are two golf courses there that I’ve played (very poorly, I might add, but at least I tried!) as well as a private beach on the lake itself. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a place for a relaxing, family-friendly Lake Lure vacation spot! And, of course, I had to have Mariah hold her “wedding” there in Upon the Highest Bough and had to have Johnny Royal visit the resort in Book One of The Wings Saga: Of All the People in the World.
