Description
A debut novel about the intertwining lives of college faculty wives.
Nestled among Manhattan University’s faculty housing, there is a garden where four women will meet—each with a scandalous secret that could upset their lives, destroy their families, and rock the prestigious university to its very core.
With its maple trees, iron gate, and fence laced with honeysuckle, Manhattan U’s garden offers faculty wives Mary, Sofia, Ashleigh, and Hannah much needed refuge from their problems. But as Mary’s husband, the power-hungry dean, plans to demolish their beloved garden, these four women will discover a surprising secret about a lost Edgar Allan Poe manuscript—and realize they must find the courage to stand up for their passions, dreams, and desires.

The Professors' Wives' Club is a great book for discussion. The characters are interesting and must make decisions that will stimulate book club members into thoughts and opinions. The author cleverly builds suspense into the plot. I felt the characters' emotions as they struggled with the situations that developed.
Great book! This would be a good movie.
