Rec Center Readers Book Club: 'The Perfect Divorce' by Jeneva Rose

Join us 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 24, to discuss our monthly book! We'll be discussing "The Perfect Divorce" by Jeneva Rose. This book is available through the Livonia Public Library.

Sarah Morgan, once a high-powered attorney, has rebuilt her life as a nonprofit executive with her new husband, Bob, and their daughter. That is, until Bob shatters everything in one night. As she files for divorce, new DNA evidence reopens her executed ex-husband Adam’s murder case, thrusting Sarah back into a high-stakes legal maelstrom. When a woman disappears, both spouses become suspects in a dangerous game of manipulation, secrets, and survival.

This event is free for members, $3 for Livonia resident non-members, and $5 for non-member non-residents. Register online today!
