Now available: a FREE book club kit to go along with my new Civil War novel, A River Between Us! Even if you're not in a book club, you might enjoy what I've put together for you:
Printable Discussion Questions I didn't add these to the back of the novel itself, so you'll want to grab them here.
A River Between Us Spotify Playlist This playlist begins with Civil War-inspired music from various sources, then switches to contemporary worship songs that display the timeless themes of hope, courage, and faith you'll find in the story.
YouTube video: How to make a Civil War-era handkerchief doll In the novel, Cora Mae crafts a handkerchief doll for June. This tutorial doesn't use Cora Mae's method--it's even easier, and would make a fun activity for your book club members!
Recipe: Gingerbread Cake (In honor of Mrs. Beasley's gingerbread)
Recipe: Blackberry Peach Skillet Cornmeal Cake (In honor of the blackberry trees in Marietta)
Recipe: Perfect Peach Crisp (In honor of Georgia's famous fruit) Any of these recipes would be delicious accompaniments to your book club meeting! Pair it with coffee, which was such a delicacy in the South during the Civil War, and you'll feel rich indeed.
Find the free book club kit for A River Between Us and several of my other novels in the page For Book Clubs here.
