Shari Rigby and Katie Phillips are asking book clubs to join them. Inspired by the Hello Sunshine model, Shari's Book Club reads faith and family stories from new and established voices, and readers help decide which books become the next audio drama, series, or film. Bring your group (or start a new one!) and help pick the stories.

Get involved:

• Fill out the Google Form to tell us about your group
• Help us name our readers! When Calls the Heart fans are "Hearties," so what should Shari's Book Club readers be called? Comment with your best idea. If we pick yours, we'll send you a free novelette.

Penelope Barker refused to stay silent. 

In 1774, she gathered fifty-one women in Edenton, North Carolina and led one of the first organized political protests by women in American history, a declaration so bold it made headlines back in England. 

This week, Shari and Katie sit with Penelope's story and ask what her courage still asks of us today, from the seasons that shape our character to the convictions worth standing on no matter the cost.

Shari's Book Club is hosted by Shari Rigby, an actress, writer, director, and producer with over two decades in entertainment, and Katie Phillips, producer and writer. 

Together they go looking for the inspiring faith and family stories they believe are missing from today's culture: stories about women, hope, and redemption. 

And they don't think these stories are meant to stay on the page. Every book they cover could be the next immersive audio drama, television series, or film. 

It's time to elevate better stories.
