Book club started with the ever famous "What would you do?" question. Michaelene presented us with the following scenario: Your significant other was convicted of a crime and sentenced to 15 years in prison. If you were given the opportunity to take over his prison sentence, and do 2 years, would you do it? We shared our results and discovered that we had various answers. We discussed how our family's situation impacted our answers.
This question was related to a theme in the book. Allison went to prison for 5 years in place of her sister, who committed the crime. We discussed why Allison would do such a thing when her future is looking incredibly bright. We believed that she wanted to escape the stress and pressures associated with her "perfect" life.
Adoption and safe-haven laws were other themes in the book we discussed thoroughly. We enjoyed the night sharing personal experiences while eating Jimmy John's, fruit, pasta and potato salad, and of course, dessert! Not to mention, Barb created a great atmosphere with a beautifully decorated dining table, and individual floral vases we took home. Thanks!!!

Recommendation: We had a wide range in our ratings for this book; 2 on the low end, and 5 on the high end. Overall, most enjoyed the book!
BCDP: Michaelene drew names from a hat and Kathy won again! She went home with a container of candy and a gift card to Starbucks. She is going for the triple crown next book club!
