There's nothing better than a great book to transport you to new worlds—whether real, imagined, or simply a much-needed escape from reality. This monthly book group, led by staff at Hummingbird Books, will feature a variety of genres guaranteed to spark lively conversation and connection. If you don’t have a chance to finish the book, that’s okay, come anyway!

December Book: All You Have to Do Is Call, by Kerri Maher honors the heroines of the Jane collective who provided safe, clandestine health services in the pre-Roe v. Wade era. Maher sketches all three women with compassion and sensitivity as they come to rely on each other in the absence of the law, and their journey is profoundly moving. Published last year, this book continues to be relevant and opens up important conversation. Author Kerri Maher will be joining us for this lively discussion. 

Books can be purchased at Hummingbird Books in Chestnut Hill (or over the phone at 617-487-5101), an independent, local female-owned and operated store with an extensive collection of adult and children’s books.
