Registration is closed
The Altrusa Wine & Chocolate Literary Society meets on the 4th Monday of each month.
 
The Committee reviewed all of the wonderful books that have been recommended by members. It was difficult to narrow down the list but they have found a fantastic variety for your reading pleasure in 2012.  They made an effort to include classics, new books, mysteries, non-fiction, and just plain fun reads. 
 
Join us for a fun evening of Friendship, Wine, Chocolate, and Literature.

During the Christmas Truce of 1914, Hal Montgomery, a British soldier, is given a photo by a German soldier, Wilhelm Wetzlar, and they make a pact. Hal promises to find his enemy's English girlfriend, Sam, and let her know her fiance is alive and thinking of her. Several weeks later, Hal--now injured--is discharged from the army and goes to Stratford on Avon to fulfill his promise. But things take an unexpected turn when he meets the woman in the photo and falls in love with her himself. Hmmm!!!
