Evening Book Discussion - Women's University Club
Thursday, January 15 2009

Diane Kinman will discuss Franca's Story, a memoir of life in wartime Italy that chronicles the adventures of a remarkable young girl, Franca Mercati, determined to help her family survive the trauma of World War II.

"Condo Divas" Book Review, Women's University Club
Tuesday, May 12 2009

Nothing compares with the experience of living in a condo community with a diva or two. They scheme, sneak, and sidestep rules as they go about solving — and creating — the major issues of pets, parking, and people with their own skewed logic. Diane will talk about how the book came to be and whether or not her neighbors are still talking to her.
