Amanda and the women at her book club quickly judged a pregnant 50-year-old woman without knowing the entire story. It was only when they learned the true nature of her pregnancy that they regretted their actions.Amanda was in her 60s and was happily single. She never married, nor did she have any children. To keep\u2026\n\n\n\n

To keep herself busy, she hosts the weekly neighborhood book club in her house, where women who lived in the area would gather every Saturday. \n\n\n\n

Amanda only ever got along with the people in her book club through the years. She loved order, so every time a neighbor\u2019s child would break a flower pot or dirty her side of the street, she would get angry. Because of this, the children were afraid of Amanda.\n\n\n\n

They steered clear of her front yard and never offered her any baked goods and juices they sold every summer, which other neighbors happily supported.\n\n\n\n

One day, Amanda went to the grocery store. There, she met Jane, a 50-year-old neighbor whom she hadn\u2019t spoken to.\n\n\n\n

Jane was at one of the aisles, looking at junk food. \u201cWe shouldn\u2019t be eating that kind of junk now that we\u2019re older,\u201d Amanda told her. Jane politely smiled and told her that her household always had chips available at home for their guests. Amanda shook her head and told her which ones to buy. \u201cThen at least go for the organic ones,\u201d she said, pointing at those she thought were better.Amanda always thought she knew best, and the entire neighborhood knew it. So instead of arguing with her to mind her own business, Jane thanked her for her suggestions\n\n\n\n

.Coincidentally, Amanda and Jane met again at the checkout counter. There, Amanda decided to invite Jane to their book club. \u201cYou must get bored on the weekends. You should join our book club,\u201d she said, handing out a flyer. Jane smiled and accepted. \u201cSure. I\u2019ll see you on Saturday,\u201d she said as she took her grocery bags and left the store. Amanda was pleased that she had recruited another member to their club. That weekend, Jane showed up. The routine at the book club would always be the same: they\u2019d talk about a book for an hour, eat sandwiches and drink tea for another hour, and chatter the night away.Jane showed up for another two weeks before she started to be absent. Amanda couldn\u2019t believe that Jane would pass on the opportunity to join their book club. What appalled her even more, was that Jane didn\u2019t answer her phone whenever she called.A month had passed, and Jane was still nowhere to be found. Irked that her need for order was disrupted, Amanda asked the other women if they\u2019d seen Jane.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
