Amanda and the women at her book club quickly judged a
pregnant 50-year-old woman without knowing the entire story.
It was only when they learned the true nature of her pregnancy
that they regretted their actions. Amanda was in her 60s and was
happily single. She never married, nor did she have any children.
To keep herself busy, she hosts the weekly neighborhood book club
in her house, where women who lived in the area would gather every Saturday.
Amanda only ever got along with the people in her book club through the years.
She loved order, so every time a neighbor’s child would break a flower
pot or dirty her side of the street, she would get angry. Because of this, the children were afraid of Amanda.
They steered clear of her front yard and never offered her any baked goods
and juices they sold every summer, which other neighbors happily supported.
