I've just finished reading a group of books that I think would work well
together. Coming of age stories featuring a variety of dysfunctional
parents with characters you can really identify with and care about. I'd
love to hear other suggestions or a clever name for this group of books!
Secret Life of Bees Sue Monk Kidd
We are All Welcome Here Elizabeth Berg
Durable Goods, Joy School Elizabeth Berg
The Glass Castle Jeannette Walls (nonfiction)
Miss Black America Veronica Chambers
For something completely different from the above,
consider pairing Bel Canto by Ann Patchett with Saving Fish from Drowning
by Amy Tan.
The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield with
Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights
Lisa Nocita, LMS

The Barstow School
