Meet the Potluck Club -- six women who gather each month to share their insatiable appetite for good friends, great food, and a pinch of prayer. Their seemingly unlikely friendship brings a little spice of life in Summit View, Colorado. But when they send up enough misinformed prayers to bring down a church, things get interesting.
Eva's nice arrives with a broken heart and a big surprise.
Lisa Leann tries to take over.
Goldie's marriage turns sour.
Donna stews over a strange encounter.
Lizzie's librarian eyes are on the lookout for trouble.
Vonnie must come to terms with a secret she's kept hidden from her best friends.
But who knows what life will serve as the Potluck Club discovers that friendship is no piece of cake and that a little dash of grace, like salt, goes a long way.

The Rainbow Story
When Eva and Linda took their editor, Jeanette, to see Lake Dillon,
an oft used location in their book, the night before the Potluck Club
was to be released at a booksellers tradeshow in Denver, Linda pointed
out where the actual 'fictional' location of the Potluck Club town
of Summit View could be located when this rainbow suddenly appeared.
So far, The Potluck Club shows promise of being a top new novel. Selling over 11,000 copies of actual sells in the first pre-release week it hit the bookstores.

HOW TO START YOUR OWN POTLUCK READING CLUB
-
Invite your friends from work, church and school, but don't forget the women in your family.
-
Encourage each guest to bring a potluck item to share during the event. Maybe even your favorite recipes from the book!
-
What should be the first book that the groups read? you ask. Do we have a book for you! It's The Potluck Club(Revell, $12.99, trade paper, August, 2005) by Linda Evans Shepherd and Eva Marie Everson. A multigenerational mix of women meet once a week to pass a hot dish and to pray. But "The Potluck Club", as they call themselves, is a recipe for disaster when they send up enough misinformed prayers to bring down a church. It isn't until they invite God to
the table that they discover friendship is the spice of life, and a little dash of grace, just like salt, goes a long way. -
Host the event in your home, church, or even at your local bookstore. Call your church or bookstore and just ask. (I bet they'll say yes.!) They may get caught up in the fun of it all
-
Set a date in the fall after kids are back in school and choose the time that is best for your store. Or a summer mom's group might work well too!
