WOW Book Club from Morris, AL is (was) in the house!

Last week, I had the absolute JOY of meeting with the WOW (Women of the Word) Book Club from Enon Baptist in Morris, Alabama on location at Carnton in Franklin, which is the setting of all my Carnton novels.

Barbara Wiginton, their fearless and fabulous leader, reached out and asked if I could meet them for a brief visit after they toured Carnton, and I’m thrilled that our schedules aligned!

Barbara and me on the back lower gallery (porch) at CarntonThe group gathered at the front of Carnton (as it spit rain, but we didn’t let that stop us)!

What a lovely bunch of gals, and how fun they are. Lots of laughter, for sure.

We visited the cemetery, and I grabbed a pic of them with Carnton in the far left distance.

And I grabbed another pic as they were leaving…

Vickie, one of the faithful drivers!

I love being in a book club and also meeting with book clubs at the various Southern plantations when schedules mesh. In fact, the group also visited Belle Meade the very next day…

I SO appreciate them helping to keep real history alive, which is what book clubs do when they visit these old Southern homes.

And speaking of book clubs, if you happened to miss Angie’s great post about book clubs yesterday, please check it out. So much of what she shared rang true for me in my experiences, too.

Have you ever been part of a book club that went the extra mile (or lots of miles!) to visit the place you’d read about it? If yes, please share the book and location with us in a comment below!

Lastly, from time to time, I’ll share an especially good sermon and this Sunday’s was that. We’re starting a series entitled DIGITAL DETOX and Pastor Shannon Scott delivered a powerful and convicting lesson.

Much love from my corner of Nashville,

Tammy
