Village Book Club at Charles McGee Library

Silver Spring Village’s in-person book club will meet on the fourth Thursday afternoon of each month at 3:00 at the Brig. General Charles McGee Library at 900 Wayne Avenue.
The May 2025 book is: The Dream Daughter by Diane Chamberlain
From bestselling author Diane Chamberlain comes an irresistible new novel. When Caroline Sears receives the news that her unborn baby girl has a heart defect, she is devastated. It is 1970 and there seems to be little that can be done. But her brother-in-law, a physicist, tells her that perhaps there is. Hunter appeared in their lives just a few years before, and his appearance was as mysterious as his past. With no family, no friends, and a background shrouded in secrets, Hunter embraced the Sears family and never looked back. Now, Hunter is telling her that something can be done about her baby’s heart. Something that will shatter every preconceived notion that Caroline has. Something that will require a kind of strength and courage that Caroline never knew existed. Something that will mean a mind-bending leap of faith on Caroline’s part. And all for the love of her unborn child. A rich, genre-spanning, breathtaking novel about one mother’s quest to save her child, unite her family and believe in the unbelievable.

We bring a variety of interests to the table—some of us are devoted to golden-age detective stories, while others prefer modern psychological thrillers or police procedurals.
Our discussions often center around favorite mystery writers and what makes their storytelling compelling. We explore themes, character development, and the art of crafting a satisfying twist. Occasionally, members may be inspired to share their own novel ideas or even excerpts of their writing for feedback in a supportive environment. Whether you’re a lifelong mystery reader, an aspiring author, or just curious, join us for engaging conversations and a shared love of the genre!
