August/September Book Club Choices

I am hosting this month's book club. Here are the books from which you will choose: The Forgotten Garden, by Kate Morton; Joy in the Morning, by Betty Smith (who wrote one of my favorite books of all time, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn); Year of Wonders, by Geraldine Brooks (nothing says summer reading like a book about the plague); Brooklyn Follies, by Paul Auster; and Diamond Ruby, by Joseph Wallace (based on the true story of Jackie Mitchell, a woman pitcher who struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in a single game, and was promptly prohibited from playing baseball by the baseball commissioner (isn't that a surprise?).
