This month we are reading “The Push” by Ashley Audrain. After the birth of her first born, Blythe is convinced that Violet is not her daughter. Blythe’s husband, Fox, believes it’s all in her head. Then her second child, Sam, is born. Blythe finally has that motherly instinct she was missing with Violet. Once disaster strikes, Blythe is left having to face the truth.

Our August general meeting features Brent Doty, P.G., Research Manager, Edwards Aquifer Authority.
