About the Author
Ann studied writing at the University of Michigan, attended workshops at Sewanee and Squaw Valley Writers’ Conferences and published her first book, Getting Free: Women and Psychotherapy in 1982. Keep the Home Fires Burning: How to Have an Affair With Your Spouse, was published1985, and garnered the attention of the Oprah Winfrey Show and several other TV talk shows. Her memoir, Infidelity, was nominated for a Pulitzer and made into a Lifetime movie by Lionsgate. http://www.annpearlman.net/books/infidel… Inside the Crips, with a foreword by Ice T, took readers into the life of a Crip gang member and the California Prison system. http://www.annpearlman.net/books/insidet…
When she’s not writing, Ann enjoys making metal sculptures and painting. She also loves to dance, work out, and garden. On a winter day in Ann Arbor, you can find Ann with her friends or her granddaughters making homemade jams and cookies. Or escaping the snow for a beach and snorkeling. Ann has three children and four grandchildren. The Christmas Cookie Club is her first novel. A companion book, The Christmas Cookie Cookbook: All the Rules and Delicious Recipes to Start Your Own Holiday Club guides readers in developing their own cookie party. http://www.christmascookieclub.com/cookb…

MY THOUGHTS
LOVED IT
This is the perfect book for the season and I did copy a few of the recipes out of the book because they sounded really wonderful. I really enjoyed the way these women’s stories were told through the use of cookie recipes which starts off each chapter. This group of women will have you hungry for more of Pearlman’s story telling. I read this book when it first came out and love it. If you enjoyed the Friday Night Knitting Club, you will probably enjoy this one as well.
