Sundial Book Club

Did you know we have a book club? Each month, the Sundial team gets together and we select a book about South Florida or by a South Florida author. Join here.

This month, we decided not to select a book. Instead we’re taking the time to highlight past authors because we know many of you are at home, looking for something enjoyable to read. Today's pick is “Long Live The Tribe of Fatherless Girls,” by T Kira Madden, which will be headed to the big screen. Actress Frankie Shaw will be directing the adaptation.
