Step Back in Time: Historical Fiction book group

Event Details

Historical fiction is a great way to learn about people and events through stories that bring history to life. Our group discusses titles from a wide variety of time/places/people. Please join us for a discussion of The Secret War of Julia Child on July 17, 2025 at The Jordan House (2001 Fuller Rd, West Des Moines, IA 50265).
