Join us for a lively discussion of "Queerly Beloved" by Susie Dumond. This book takes place in a fictional bakery, right here, in Tulsa. Enjoy snacks while exchanging your favorite holiday recipes.

At her day job in a Christian bakery and with her conservative family, Amy plays the role of a straight, church-going young woman. But at night, she tends bar at the only place in town that truly feels like home: Ruby Red's, a lovably grungy queer bar with a group of regulars who have become her chosen family. When she hits it off with Charley, a charming newcomer to Tulsa -- she's suddenly outed and subsequently fired from her bakery job. When a new friend begs her to fill in for one of the bridesmaids at her wedding -- and offers to pay Amy more than she makes in a single night at Ruby Red's -- she can't afford to turn it down. As her relationship with Charley heats up, this one-off opportunity turns into a full-time business. Between weddings, bachelorette parties, bridal showers and dress fittings, Amy's in her element, but at what cost? The only bright spot is her whirlwind romance with Charley. But when Amy's precarious balancing act strains her relationships to a breaking point, she must decide what it looks like to be true to herself -- and if she has the courage to try.
