Book Club Picks: Author Julie Schumacher Suggests Five Novels

Because my most recent novel is about a mother-daughter book club, my list below consists of Five Book Club picks – books that will spark discussion this summer at the pool or on the porch, when you’re armed with well buttered popcorn and a pitcher of lemonade.  I lean toward classics as well as contemporary…
