X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p style="text-align: center\;">[This book cl
 ub meets every second Tuesday of the month at 7 pm]</p>\n<p>Join us to dis
 cuss <strong><em>The Book of Two Ways</em> by Jodi Picoult:</strong></p>\n
 <p style="padding-left: 30px\; text-align: justify\;"><em>"Everything chan
 ges in a single moment for Dawn Edelstein. She&rsquo\;s on a plane when th
 e flight attendant makes an announcement: Prepare for a crash landing. She
  braces herself as thoughts flash through her mind. The shocking thing is\
 , the thoughts are not of her husband but of a man she last saw fifteen ye
 ars ago: Wyatt Armstrong.</em></p>\n<p style="padding-left: 30px\; text-al
 ign: justify\;"><em>Dawn\, miraculously\, survives the crash\, but so do a
 ll the doubts that have suddenly been raised. She has led a good life. Bac
 k in Boston\, there is her husband\, Brian\, their beloved daughter\, and 
 her work as a death doula\, in which she helps ease the transition between
  life and death for her clients.</em></p>\n<p style="padding-left: 30px\; 
 text-align: justify\;"><em>But somewhere in Egypt is Wyatt Armstrong\, who
  works as an archaeologist unearthing ancient burial sites\, a career Dawn
  once studied for but was forced to abandon when life suddenly intervened.
  And now\, when it seems that fate is offering her second chances\, she is
  not as sure of the choice she once made.</em></p>\n<p style="padding-left
 : 30px\; text-align: justify\;"><em>After the crash landing\, the airline 
 ensures that the survivors are seen by a doctor\, then offers transportati
 on to wherever they want to go. The obvious&nbsp\;destination is to fly ho
 me\,&nbsp\;but she could take another path:&nbsp\;return to the archaeolog
 ical site she left years before\, reconnect with Wyatt and their unresolve
 d history\, and maybe even complete her research on The Book of Two Ways&m
 dash\;the first known map of the afterlife.</em></p>\n<p style="padding-le
 ft: 30px\; text-align: justify\;"><em>As the story unfolds\, Dawn&rsquo\;s
  two possible futures unspool side by side\, as do the secrets and doubts 
 long buried with them. Dawn must confront the questions she&rsquo\;s never
  truly asked: What does a life well lived look like? When we leave this ea
 rth\, what do we leave behind? Do we make choices . . . or do our choices 
 make us? And who would you be if you hadn&rsquo\;t turned out to be the pe
 rson you are right now?"&nbsp\;</em></p>\n<p style="text-align: center\;">
