Our first book for the Brookdale Union Book Reading Club was "Love's Second Blossom," written by our very own Activity Coordinator, Bishop Martin Wilson. This touching love story follows a couple who reunite after many years apart, discovering each other once again within the Brookdale facility. During our discussion, members shared their reflections on the characters' emotional journeys and the themes of love, nostalgia, and second chances. The narrative beautifully illustrates how time and life experiences shape relationships, resonating with many of us in the room. Bishop Wilson's heartfelt story, read by one of the female residents, captivated everyone, sparking conversations about our own experiences with love and connection. It was a wonderful way to kick off our reading journey together! We look forward to more enriching discussions in the future.
