'TIS THE SEASON
Ann Pearlman's debut novel The Christmas Cookie Club has already been optioned for a movie. Every year on the first Monday of December, Marnie and her closest girlfriends gather to make batches of cookies. Everyone has to bring a dish, a bottle of wine and their stories. This year, Marnie's oldest daughter faces a risky pregnancy. Jeannie's father is having an affair with her best friend. Taylor's life is in financial freefall. And Rosie has to decide whether the fact her husband doesn't want children will be her deal breaker. With the book due out in the UK a few weeks after Christmas, it has been retagged The Cookie Club. Head to the author's website for a sneak peek at the first chapter and details on how to create your own cookie club.
