πποΈ Books & Brushstrokes: October Meetup ποΈπ
ποΈ Date & Time: October 24 at 6:30 PM
π Location: DIY Workshop
This month weβre diving into Come Fly With Me by Williamsburg author Camille Di Maio! Join us as we discuss this evocative, mid-century tale of ambition, escape, and friendship.
π Book Summary
Set in 1962, at the dawning of the jet-set era, Come Fly With Me follows Judy Goodman and Beverly Caldwell, two women from contrasting backgrounds, as they vie for coveted positions as Pan Am stewardesses. Judy seeks freedom from an oppressive marriage in small-town Pennsylvania, while Beverly escapes the gilded cage of New York high society.
Through the rigors of airline training, long hours, unspoken secrets, and far-flung destinations, Judy and Beverly forge a powerful bond. As their personal lives intertwine, each must face hidden truths and redefining moments.
The novel not only transports us to a glamorous era of air travel β complete with strict protocols, uniform rules, and jet-age allure β but also intimately explores themes of reinvention, courage, and the strength found in deep connection.
β¨ Special Treat!
Weβre thrilled to share that Camille Di Maio is generously providing bookmarks and signed nameplates for all attendees! βοΈ
Sheβll be attending a Literacy for Life event that same evening β or she would have loved to join us in person. We canβt wait to dive into her whole collection of beautifully written stories! π
π¨ Project of the Month
Our creative project for October is a 12" wall or door hanging β perfect for your home, office, or as a heartfelt gift. Whether you prefer cozy autumn vibes or something modern and sleek, youβll design a piece thatβs uniquely yours.
π« Light refreshments and mocktails provided β feel free to bring your own drink!
β¨ Grab your book, bring your creativity, and come enjoy a relaxing evening of reading, creating, and connecting.
π RSVP today to reserve your spot!
