Think of this book club as a refuge for women who want to cultivate their minds outside of our current culture's norm of watching television or films. This is a casual, laid back, friendly book club discussion about the books we are reading. This book club meets in the Saint Paul Midway area.

… Women who know there's more to this relationship thing than the conventional wisdom in women's magazines, movies, novels and popular songs would have us believe. Our girlfriends' advice, and the relationships we modeled growing up--they weren't much help either, were they? We are successful in most other areas of our lives, but this one thing remains a mystery. And it's frustrating, because we know in our core that it's possible--so what are we doing wrong?
