Evergreen Connection Cafe - Book Discussion Club - Non Fiction Books

Welcome to a list of book recommendations from the members of the Evergreen Connection Cafe -Book Discussion Club. We currently meet the 3rd Friday of the month at 2:00pm via Zoom. At the club, we discuss books, both fiction and non-fiction, that have been helpful to our members in their journey through life. The books in this list have a strong focus on self-care, end of life, and grief. Reading is subjective, so not every book on this list will be appeal to everyone. It is your journey, and you will find what speaks to you. Our goal is to offer a variety of books and authors so that you might find something that is helpful. Evergreen Hospice does not filter or screen the books in the list. If a book is brought up by a member at our meeting, it is added to the list. If you wish to discuss these books or have a suggestion for our list, we would love for you to join our club! Please email tstanton@evgcares.org if you would like more information about Evergreen's Book Discussion Club. We welcome new members.
