Fiction Old and New will be discussing the book "Joy in the Morning" by Betty
Smith, DB 38778 on Friday, April 2, 2021 at 8:00 p.m. eastern time.
I have changed the book which was originally selected for the April meeting of
Fiction Old and New book group. We will now be discussing "Joy in the Morning"
by Betty Smith and not discuss "Tomorrow Will Be Better" by Betty Smith. "Joy
in the Morning" is the story of Annie and Carl in their first year of marriage
in a 1928 Midwestern town. It is a delightful story of the ups and downs of
newly married life.
Here is the NLS annotation:

Romance
Description: In 1927 eighteen-year-old Annie McGairy arrives in a midwestern
university town to marry her boyfriend, Carl Brown, who is studying law. Back
in Brooklyn, both sets of parents react badly to the news and cut off all
support. Despite the struggle to make ends meet, the couple's good spirits keep
them going. As Carl finishes his law degree, Annie, who never went to high
school, pursues her dream of becoming a writer. Some strong language.
Your facilitator for this group is Michelle Bernstein
(hamletsweetlady@xxxxxxxxx).
