Please join us for our next CCTO Book Club Meeting on April 2nd, led by Donirene Ward, author Emily Evans, and Sneha Mohile.

Donirene and author, Emily Evans, will be leading a discussion of Accidental Cinderella. Donirene selected this book as it is written by one of our very own study monitors!

Accidental Cinderella is a book that retells a classic story in a contemporary setting.  It has a ball…a gown…a pumpkin…and a happily ever…  We all know the story; or do we?  Although this book was written for Young Adults, it was selected because the author has worked with the CCTO.  She is a monitor that worked on one of our Hematology trials for several years.  The author will be joining our next book-club session and can answer any questions about the book and/or Indie publishing.

Sneha will be discussing the first chapter of The Seat of the Soul, written by Gary Zukav. The first chapter can be found for free here.

The Seat of the Soul is a book that offers a unique blend of self-awareness, philosophy and spirituality. The book takes you into a deep dive mode of understanding who you are with respect to the external and internal power. Author Gary Zukav offers an insight to your personality, character, external world and the true authentic self! The purpose of the book is to connect with your true self and align your soul with your actions. It is a great read if you enjoy some soul time with yourself!
