March Book Club

Join me for our inaugural four-part Book Club study group through March on Wednesday evenings at 6 pm

MTN. I hope we can laugh, maybe shed a tear or two, have hard conversations, and experience surprising

revelations during our discussions. Members share only what they are comfortable sharing and interact

respectfully - without judgment. Meetings are not recorded, and seating is limited to ensure all members can

participate. During our time together, we explore each book as it relates to us in our individual circumstances.

This study group aims to understand our adult child's perspective better, how we can repair to repair, and

perhaps gain insight into how we can move forward. The criteria for book selection and focus of reading

content include:

• Self Acceptance
• Self-Reflection, Acceptance and Growth
• Communication Style and Skills
• Relational Conflict Management
• Setting and Respecting Healthy Boundaries
• Repair, Reconciliation and Moving Forward

Now being totally upfront… this Book Club is not about quick-fix strategies. When people are tempted to

move into blame, shame or judgment, I will guide you back into a constructive conversation for learning and

growth. Discussions are grounded in the When Our Adult Children Walk Away values and beliefs. Please read

through both links before registering.

We encourage people to come to our meetings with open hearts and minds. Brene Brown says, "Vulnerability

is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change." Join me as we dig in and prepare to repair!

Our first book is Dr. Josh Coleman's Rules of Estrangement, published in 2020. This is Josh's fifth book offering insights and encouragement for people experiencing relational conflict. Josh also authored When Parents

Hurt: Compassionate Strategies When You and Your Grown Child Don't Get Along, published in 2008. Both

books provide excellent insights into how and why adult children choose to walk away.
