Are you looking for a summer read that’s not too heavy but good for the soul? And is a book club discussion of the book with some other ladies even more inviting??
If you said yes….look no further!
Pick up a copy of My Dear Hemlock by Tilley Dillehay and get started! (https://a.co/d/0fLwbFmI)
It’s only 153 pages and each chapter is short….2-3 pages…but there’s so much packed into these short chapters.
Then….let's talk about it! We will meet at the Cozy Gathering Place on A1A on Friday, July 10th for a lovely night of community and discussion.

Below is a portion of a book review if that’s helpful to you.
If you have read C.S. Lewis’s, "Screwtape Letters," then this book will feel a little familiar to you. "My Dear Hemlock," is the modernized, ‘for women’ version of the "Screwtape Letters" in which we get a glimpse into the methods demons use to try to lure us away from the Lord or trap us in sin and apathy.
Inside you will find letters exchanged between the diabolical Madame Hoaxrot and her junior devil Hemlock, who are scheming against a young woman’s relationship with her Creator.
They plot to sabotage every feature of her life from sex to female friendship to empathy, motherhood, and aging.
But what we see throughout the course of this book is not the depressing, harrowing story of one woman’s demise into this treachery, but the journey of a frustrated demon unable to tear this woman from abiding in her Lord, even when faced with challenges in marriage, parenting, friendships, work, illness, and ultimately death. It is a success story of how we can resist the attempts of the devil and in all things draw near to our Creator who has better plans for us.
