This summer, you’re invited to connect, reflect and discover the power of authentic human connection.

Join us for the Summer Book Club featuring "The Authenticity Project" by Clare Pooley. This heartwarming and thought-provoking novel begins with a simple but powerful question: How well do we really know the people around us?

When a lonely artist named Julian Jessop leaves a green notebook in a neighborhood café, he poses a challenge to strangers: tell the truth about who you really are. As the notebook passes from person to person, lives become unexpectedly intertwined, friendships form and secrets give way to connection.

In an age of social media, remote work, and increasing isolation, The Authenticity Project offers a refreshing reminder of the importance of community, vulnerability, and genuine conversation. The novel invites readers to reflect on how well we know our neighbors, colleagues, and even ourselves.
