Novel Ideas meets 3/21/25 at 8pm Eastern and will be discussing the book The Kennedy Debutante DB108271by Kerri Maher. Due to confusion locating this book by title on the BARD website, we incorrectly identified the March book to be discussed as Kathleen Kennedy, her life and times DB20590 at the 2/21/25 meeting. We will be discussing The Kennedy Debutante instead which is Randi’s first choice.
This book is available on Bookshare at the following link:
