Description

In the spring of 1880s Boston, six teenage girls revive a club they once called the May Flower Club, gathering weekly to sew, discuss books, and share their thoughts on the world around them. Their reunion after a summer apart quickly turns to a lively debate about which book to read—one that might open their eyes to the hardships of working women and poverty. As the conversation deepens, each girl voices her own doubts and aspirations, revealing a mix of youthful self‑indulgence and a yearning to be useful.

Through candid confessions and gentle ribbing, the girls confront the tension between comfortable privilege and the call to help those less fortunate. The narrative captures their earnest attempts to translate good intentions into concrete action, while also wrestling with family expectations and personal fears. Readers are invited to linger in the warm, twilight dialogues that echo the timeless challenge of turning empathy into deeds.
