Book Club Girl on Air Welcomes Lynne Hinton to Discuss Christmas Cake

What better way to celebrate the holidays this December than to join our special holiday show on December 15th, when we'll welcome Lynne Hinton, author of Friendship Cake and Christmas Cake!

In this long-awaited sequel to her beloved national bestseller Friendship Cake, Hinton returns to the town of Hope Springs with a heartwarming story that celebrates the close and lifelong bonds among women. Set in a small fictional Southern community as unforgettable as Jan Karon’s  Mitford, Christmas Cake movingly addresses issues of life and death, faith and love—and good cooking!

With the holiday season drawing near, the ladies of Hope Springs, North Carolina, are making plans for a cake cookbook—a project that will hopefully lift the spirits of a beloved member of their close-knit quartet. But Margaret Peele is downhearted and uninspired now that her cancer has returned. All she wants this Christmas is to visit her mother's Texas hometown . . . and to see their absent friend, pastor Charlotte Stewart, who left Hope Springs to run a battered women's shelter. So impulsive Beatrice Newgarden Witherspoon commandeers a very inappropriate—but comfortable—van to transport Margaret, Louise Fisher, and Jessie Jenkins across the country for a Lone Star State reunion with Charlotte. And over the course of a remarkable journey they will rediscover the greatest Christmas gift of all: eternal friendship.

New Mexico magazine said of Christmas Cake, "Hinton perfectly captures the intimacy and humor in women's friendships in a lighthearted, pleasurable story that's just in time for the holiday season."

I have 15 copies of Christmas Cake to the first 15 people who comment that they'd like to participate in the Book Club Girl on Air Show on Tuesday, December 15th at 7 pm ET. Check out the reading group guide and set your reminder for the show here!
