In the follow-up to her novel “Friendship Bread,” Darien Gee invites readers back to Avalon, Ill., in “The Avalon Ladies Scrapbooking Society.” Readers reunite with the first novel’s charismatic characters, as well as several new engaging protagonists. This time, rather than the sweet Amish Friendship Bread that once united the Avalon townsfolk, it is the pastime of scrapbooking that connects the characters’ lives.
