Symbol your calendar. It's the Christmas Cookie Membership! Each year on the first Mon of Dec, Marnie and her twelve closest girlfriends gather in the evening with batches of beautifully wrapped homemade cookies. Everyone has to bring a dish, a wine, and their stories. This year, the stories are specially important. Marnie's oldest little princess has a high-risk motherhood. Will she find out tonight how that story might end? Jeannie's dad is having an affair with her best ally. Who else understood about the betrayal, and how do that be forgiven or overlooked, even among old friends such as these? Rosie's spouse doesn't want children, and she's to decide, very soon, if that's a package breaker for the relationship. Taylor's life is in financial freefall. Each woman, each good friend has a story to tell, and they are all interwoven, equally as their lives are.
On tonite, at least, they can feel as a group the impulses of sisterly love and turmoil, the enthusiasm and hopefulness of a new love, the betrayal and disillusionment some connections bring, the joys and doubts of motherhood, the agony of burning off a kid, and most importantly, the love they have got for just one another. As Marnie says, the Christmas Cookie Club, whether it's anything, is a reminder of pleasure.
The Christmas Cookie Membership is about the paths Marnie and her friends have journeyed, the absolute enjoyment they ingest life and love regardless of the decisions they've regretted, the hard choices and amends they've had to make, and the sacrifices on the way. Ultimately, The Christmas Cookie Membership is every woman's story. As you read about Marnie and her friends, their challenges and triumphs, why is them have fun and what has made them weep, you'll see yourself plus some of the ingredients of your own story. Celebrating courage and enjoyment in spite of crisis and honoring the value of women's friendships as well as the embracing bonds of community, Ann Pearlman has written a book that speaks to us all.
