Hi friends, we are coming close to the end of our Treasuring Grace bookclub and we hope you have enjoyed it. When we are done we'd love to hear what you have thought of the experience.
Here are this weeks book club questions for chapters 23 and 24.
Jennifer
is featured prominently in Chapters 23 and 24. What do you think about her
response to Liz ’s despair?
We
don’t really know a lot about Jennifer, but we can imagine and
extrapolate from what we do know. Despite the porta-potties when we first met
her, image was very important to her. The parade was also very important to
her, so she didn’t leave it lightly. This was almost heroic, and her
subsequent rescue of Liz was crucial
– you can imagine the Swansons sitting there for a long time without her
help. Sharing her own story was generous and pivotal in helping
Liz . Acknowledging the wrong and asking for
forgiveness was a necessary approach. Liz
wouldn’t have responded to anything else, especially not an attempt to
minimize it.
Do
you think the relationship between Jennifer and Scott will change?
I
think Jennifer and Scott will think a little differently of each other, but they
enjoy antagonizing each other too much to let it go.
Has
Jennifer gotten over her own abortion?
Probably not. By her own admission,
her personality changed. She became an “Ice Queen”. There was a
stronger term before editing. That’s why Scott’s kind words got to
her. It was almost easier for her to believe that she was just a hard, cold
person than that she was a good person who made a mistake.
