E-book extra: Reading group guide.From Oprah favorite Pearl Cleage comes a delightful new e-book edition of a beloved novel. Joyce Mitchell has put her life on hold to help others. Now, the arrival of a tall, dark stranger named Nate Anderson proves that others can offer something to her: a renewed passion for life, and a story that will have readers laughing, crying, and cheering.Since Joyce Mitchell was widowed five years ago, she's kept herself occupied by running the Sewing Circus, an all-girl group she founded to provide badly needed services to young women at risk, many of whom are single mothers. But some nights, home alone, she has to admit that something is missing. And soon she may not even have the Sewing Circus to fill up her life, as the state legislature has decided not to fund the group.
