The book we are reading this month is The Sewing Girl’s Tale: A Story of Crime and Consequences by John Wood Sweet.
Based on rigorous historical detective work, this book takes us from a chance encounter in the street into the sanctuaries of the city’s elite, the shadows of its brothels, and the despair of its debtors’ prison. The Sewing Girl’s Tale shows that if our laws and our culture were changed by a persistent young woman and the power of words two hundred years ago, they can be changed again.
Church members/friends are invited to join us June 23rd, in Room 16, following the worship
service for our discussion as we share our thoughts on this story
