Join us as we discuss Light Changes Everything by Nancy Turner.

Light Changes Everything is the story of a resilient young feminist a century ahead of her time. It’s the summer of 1907 and the sun is scorching down on Mary Pearl in the Arizona Territory, where Mary and her sister take their minds off the heat by sneaking banned Jane Austen novels to fuel their day dreams. Their dreams threaten to come true when a high society bachelor attempts to whisk seventeen year old Mary off her feet with a forbidden kiss and hasty engagement. As autumn approaches, Mary’s Wheaton College acceptance counters quick marriage preparations. Days of travel carry her deep into a sophisticated new world of Northern girls’ schooling. Seeking friendship but finding foes, Mary not only learns how to write, read, and draw, but also how to act, dress, and be a woman.
