Fall in love with the son of the farmer next door\, marry him\, pray for children\, and never\, under any circumstances reveal the truth–that she doesn’t think marriage or motherhood or staying in Crossmore is for her. That the reason she knows this\, is because of her close friend\, Susannah. For years\, Lucy buries her obsession\, until one summer\, right before graduation\, when her friendship with Susannah escalates. Now\, Lucy will do anything to keep their secret safe. Their relationship is both the best and worst thing that’s ever happened to her–Lucy loves Susannah\, but every day\, it feels like Crossmore\, Lucy’s mother\, and their social mores are closing in. And when Susannah decides she no longer wants to hide\, Lucy must make a devastating choice. \n \n \n From the Catalog\n \n \n \n Book \n \n \n \n \n \n Hoopla\n \n \n \n eAudio \n \n \n \n \n Libby\n \n \n \n eAudio \n \n \n \n eBook URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/pride-and-joy-book-club-8/ LOCATION:CLP – Main (Oakland)\, 4400 Forbes Avenue\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, 15213\, United States CATEGORIES:Book Club ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://carnegielibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/sunburn-1080x600-1.jpg GEO:40.4431957;-79.949915 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CLP – Main (Oakland) 4400 Forbes Avenue Pittsburgh PA 15213 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=4400 Forbes Avenue:geo:-79.949915,40.4431957 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
