WELL-READ

Here’s how this week’s arts and culture piece begins:

“Well-Read Mom” is the brainchild of Marcie Stokman, a mother of seven and an RN with a master’s in psychology.

It’s a site committed to helping women take care of their hearts by reclaiming time for books and friendship, preferably in a group setting.

“Read More. Read Well” runs the site’s tagline. The intro text reads: “It can be a challenge to make time to read in a world that never stops. Developing and maintaining the ability for deep reading isn’t something we can take for granted. Millions of Americans won’t read a single book this year. You won’t be one of them.

It all started around 1986 when Marcie was a new mother.
