The Wednesday Sisters by Meg Waite Clayton

I picked up this book from the shelf in Target because of the word sisters in the title. Having four sisters, I know that "sister drama" can be the stuff of great stories. However, the sisters in this book are not related. My interest was kept when I learned that the women in this book come together because they form an informal writing group. Now I was hooked! My interest in writing and language arts was a great connection. It's a nice book - not a show stopper, but still nice. There is a lot of history from the 60's and 70's interwoven among the stories. I was a little young to really understand some of the events that are mentioned, but the author does a good job of showing just how influence politics and world events are on our everyday lives.
