Looking for a read that’s thoughtful, heartfelt, and full of meaningful conversation?

This July, we’re reading Dandelion by Jamie Chai Yun Liew — a moving novel that explores identity, belonging, family, and the search for home.

Blending family history, self-discovery, and themes of culture and connection, Dandelion follows a young woman as she uncovers long-held secrets and navigates questions about where she comes from and where she belongs. It’s a beautifully written story that invites reflection and offers plenty to unpack together during discussion.
