Book Group for March

We had to cancel February's book group due to weather, so for March's book group, we're going to discuss two books.  We'll first discuss The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, and then discuss February's book, That Quail, Robert by Margaret A. Stanger. We'll be meeting at Lauren's house on Tuesday, March 4th at 7:30pm.  Here is a summary of The Fault in Our Stars. (A summary of That Quail, Robert can be found in the previous post.)

Diagnosed with Stage IV thyroid cancer at 13, Hazel was prepared to die until, at 14, a medical miracle shrunk the tumors in her lungs... for now.

Two years post-miracle, sixteen-year-old Hazel is post-everything else, too; post-high school, post-friends and post-normalcy. And even though she could live for a long time (whatever that means), Hazel lives tethered to an oxygen tank, the tumors tenuously kept at bay with a constant chemical assault.

Enter Augustus Waters. A match made at cancer kid support group, Augustus is gorgeous, in remission, and shockingly to her, interested in Hazel. Being with Augustus is both an unexpected destination and a long-needed journey, pushing Hazel to re-examine how sickness and health, life and death, will define her and the legacy that everyone leaves behind.
