The book we're pumping is…We Have Everything Before Us
Join Pump Up the Volume, OCWW’s member book club for a discussion of Esther Yin-Ling Spodek's We Have Everything Before Us. If you like funny with an edge, warmth that resonates, and realistic fiction that feels like a tell-all about the people living next door to you, you'll love this novel about the intersecting lives of three Chicago suburbanites. We hope you join us for what will be a truly engaging session with the bright, clever and well-informed Esther at our first house party!
