Join us for a special book club discussion of Vivian’s Decision by Della Leavitt, an evocative work of historical fiction exploring female friendship, family, resilience, and the courage it takes to make deeply personal choices.

This free gathering offers more than a traditional book discussion. Author Della Leavitt will join us virtually, giving participants the unique opportunity to hear directly from her about the inspiration and historical research behind the novel, explore its themes on a deeper level, and ask questions about the story and her writing process.

Set in suburban Chicago, Vivian’s Decision follows Vivian Jacobson, a mother of four who finds herself unexpectedly pregnant and overwhelmed by the possibility of adding another child to her family. As she wrestles with an impossible decision, long-held family secrets and the experiences of the women who came before her begin to surface, forcing Vivian to consider what she truly wants for herself and her future.

Whether you have finished the book or simply want to be part of a meaningful conversation, we invite you to join us for an engaging discussion and a rare opportunity to spend time with the author behind the story.

Free to attend. Registration is required.
