The smiling beauty holding COAJAA is Kristen, who took one of my writing workshops and whose presence is always a delight. Unfortunately, on the night that Kristen's Rossmoor/Los Alamitos Book Club, a/k/a Ladies Who Love Books, discussed COAJAA, the club's intrepid leader, Debbie, was sick and unable to attend. From left to right are Pam, Marsha, Laurie, Kristen, Joyce, Joanne, and Jill.
