Zoom Book Club for Adult Children of Divorce

This online book club is for anyone in northern Virginia whose parents have gotten divorced. No matter the circumstances, parental divorce can affect us in all sorts of ways. Join our supportive community for this seven-week book club as we read, “Life-Giving Wounds: A Catholic Guide to Healing for Adult Children of Divorce or Separation,” by Daniel and Bethany Meola. This book club is free to join; the only cost is the cost of the book (about $18.95 plus S&H).

 Our book club will meet on Tuesday evenings from March 19 through April 30, from 7:30 - 8:30 pm EDT. We will read two chapters on our own before each meeting, and then each meeting will consist of an opening prayer and small group sharing. As we near the end of the book, we will plan an opportunity to get together in person.

The book can be purchased at https://www.lifegivingwounds.org, https://ignatius.com/, or https://www.amazon.com/. The Zoom link will be sent to you via email.
