A group of friends in Mason, Missouri, decides to start a monthly supper club, but when one of the women reveals something startlingly intimate, it becomes the Confession Club. They invite Iris Winters to join—and she needs advice about her feelings for a charming but troubled man—and Maddy Harris, who has come back home from New York to escape a problem too big to handle alone. In Elizabeth Berg's poignant 2019 novel, friendship proves to be the only cure for all of their difficulties.
