Top-ranked title in Amazon's Friendship Fiction category - perfect for book clubs A heartfelt coming-of-age novel set in 1963 South Dakota, Wednesday Club is a work of historical and women's fiction that explores inter-generational friendship and the power of finding home where you least expect it. Ivy Hanson is pretty sure her life is over. At sixteen, she's been hastily dumped at her grandparents' South Dakota farm while her mother chases Hollywood dreams. Stuck with a critical grandfather and a rural life she doesn't understand, Ivy is isolated, friendless, and desperate to escape. Then, her grandmother ropes her into the Wednesday Club, a group of six women who gather once a month to swap gossip, tackle community projects, and make sense of the turbulent world of 1963. Each of these women carries her own struggles, including Tillie, the aspiring artist stretched thin by motherhood; quirky Etola, desperate to find a husband; and Hattie, whose past holds painful secrets. Over the months, Ivy navigates harsh realities-romantic disappointment, small-town life, and a terrifying experience with a horse-and through it all, the Wednesday Club women offer her something unexpected: a sense of home she's never known. But when Ivy stumbles upon a shocking family secret, it threatens everything. Told with humor and heart, here is proof that every woman needs a Wednesday Club. Ideal for fans of Elizabeth Berg, Claire Lombardo, and Emma Straub. As vivid and gripping as a movie, Wednesday Club is an uplifting tale of unlikely friendships, where a teen girl finds belonging among a band of unforgettable older women. If you're into stories about friendship, resilience, and finding home in unexpected places, Wednesday Club is a must-read. Bonus: it's perfect for book clubs and fans of strong, character-driven stories.
