Little Compton Women's History Exhibition

The Book Group has proved to be a great new League institution. In addition to having a good time and meeting new people, we've learned a lot of history (The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams by Stacy Schiff), current events (True Biz by Sara Novic), and outstanding people (Finding Me by Viola Davis). On the lighter side, we read a lighthearted book about the "glamorous" life of flight attendants before deregulation by local author Ann Hood (Fly Girl by Ann Hood). We also take field trips to historic local places.
