The Comfortably Soaring Life of Cassia Sommersby is more than just a story—it’s an invitation to engage with themes of faith, identity, and resilience.

But I also believe in pairing books with thoughtful conversations, which is why I’d recommend a few other novels alongside mine. Join me by reading my book and-

• Emily of New Moon by L.M. Montgomery is a timeless classic. Though written in a different era, it offers a rich exploration of identity, faith, and destiny through the eyes of a young girl taken in by her extended family after becoming an orphan.

• The Second Summer of the Sisterhood (Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) by Ann Brashares provides a contemporary look at friendship and grief. Bridget’s journey in navigating loss shows the power of community and highlights cultural views on relationships and support systems.
  
  Together, these stories can spark incredible discussions about worldviews, philosophical beliefs, and the ways we navigate challenges in life and relationships. We will engage in thoughtful discussion around how these books represented a generation’s culture. I hope you can join me!
