Lives Uncorked Book Club November MeetingJoin us for our next gathering of Lives Uncorked, where we celebrate the power of memoirs and real-life stories paired with carefully selected wines and artfully prepared charcuterie.
Thursday, November 13, 6:00 - 8:00 PM
This month we're reading The Forgotten Girls: A Memoir of Friendship and Lost Promise in Rural America by Monica Potts—a profound and compassionate exploration of friendship, class, and the forces that shape our lives. Potts returns to her hometown in rural Arkansas to reconnect with her childhood best friend and understand how their lives diverged so dramatically despite starting from similar circumstances.
Through deeply personal storytelling, Potts examines the challenges facing rural communities, the impact of economic decline, and the complex factors that determine who escapes poverty and who remains trapped by it. This memoir offers a nuanced look at the American Dream, female friendship, and the invisible barriers that limit opportunity in forgotten corners of our country.
Discussion will be facilitated by Janelle Meyer, Mustard Seed Books Insider, who will guide our conversation through this important and timely story about place, belonging, and the ties that bind us.
Come ready for meaningful conversation about class, community, and compassion over wine and charcuterie. This is a book that will challenge and move you in equal measure.
Copies of The Forgotten Girls are available for purchase at Mustard Seed Books. Reserve your spot today. Wine and light refreshments included.
