'Irresistible' Book Club Choice

One of the things I love most about Book Clubs is that they open your eyes to novels you probably would never choose to read on your own.  I just finished The Irresistible Henry House by Lisa Grunwald.  Once I got into it, I had a hard time putting this book down.

Based on the true fact that from 1919-1969, orphans were used to teach college students how to parent, this fictional story shares so many incredible facets of the sixties...I found this plot irresistible and definitely worth reading!

It is the middle of the twentieth century, and in a home economics program at a prominent university, real babies are being used to teach mothering skills to young women. For a young man raised in these unlikely circumstances, finding real love and learning to trust will prove to be the work of a lifetime. In this captivating novel, bestselling author Lisa Grunwald gives us the sweeping tale of an irresistible hero and the many women who love him.

From his earliest days as a "practice baby" through his adult adventures in 1960s New York City, Disney's Burbank studios, and the delirious world of the Beatles' London, Henry remains handsome, charming, universally adored—and never entirely accessible to the many women he conquers but can never entirely trust. -goodreads.com
