For book clubs

Read it together.

If your group is reading Every Room Remembers, here are some questions to start the conversation, and a way to ask for copies or invite me to join you.

Make a request

somewhere to begin

Discussion questions.

Use as many or as few as you like. I'd love to hear what you talk about.

i.

SJ and Wyatt experience many signs — the fox, the snake, the beetles, to name just a few. Do you believe in signs? Can you remember a time you received a sign from the natural world?

ii.

SJ experiences extraordinary, compounded grief. In deep grief, what can another person offer that is helpful and caring, versus unhelpful?

iii.

Have you ever encountered a "Rose" in your life — someone who had a unique clarity and perspective about your life that you lacked in that moment? How did you respond?

iv.

Do you believe the axiom "trouble comes in threes" is true? Why or why not?

v.

Mae is a remarkable sister despite her pushy personality. Do you believe sibling relationships improve as we age and grow in maturity? Do you see your siblings in a different light now?

vi.

SJ recognizes that the Osprey House has a distinct energy. Have you experienced a similar sense of energy in a physical location — perhaps someplace historical?

vii.

Hawk has many remarkable qualities, fierce loyalty being just one. Have you experienced an extraordinary relationship with an animal? How did it shape you?

an open invitation

Bring me to your table.

I love book clubs. Tell me about your group and what you need: copies of the book for your members, a visit from me, or both.

I can join in person when I'm nearby, or by video for the last part of your meeting to hear what you talked about and answer your questions.

with warmth,
Tara

Thank you. Your request is on its way, and I'll write back soon to sort out the details.

What would you like?
