The Joy of Reading

09/11/2026

Kristin Hannah just announced her next novel, THE FIRE, coming May 4, 2027!

🤍 From the author of The Nightingale and The Women, THE FIRE is set in contemporary America and explores the bonds between women and the power of finding your voice.

THE BLURB:
Merritt Locke is a woman you've seen before. A faithful wife, a devoted mother, a generous daughter. But every woman has a line that once crossed, changes her torever.

Betrayed by those she trusts and thrust into the pitiless glare of the public spotlight, Merritt will break the one rule everyone in her life is counting on her to uphold. In the aftermath, she embarks on an impulsive cross-country journey to reconnect with her estranged daughter, and along the way, meets—and joins forces— with women who are as familiar as they are unforgettable.

An epic novel that reckons with the history we are all living through, The Fire is an anthem to those who feel invisible and forgotten and a rallying cry for women of every age to stand together to be seen...and heard.

I will read absolutely anything Kristin Hannah writes, so this immediately became one of my most anticipated books of 2027.

👉🏼 Are you excited for this one?! What’s your favorite Kristin Hannah book?

Next up: Introducing Joyce Stuber
Our Treasurer

Joyce Stuber joined the Dunmore Equestrian Society at its second organizational meeting in 2014, stepping into a role that has grown alongside the facility itself. Joyce and her family have deep roots in the western way of life and the ranching community. Together with her husband, Darwin, and their family,Austin and Chrissy, and Wyatt and Kenzie, they own and operate a multi-generational ranch, continuing a proud family tradition rooted in agriculture, horsemanship, and community.
Her experience in the team roping community, where she managed timing and participant registration, reinforced the need for a year-round indoor equestrian facility in southeastern Alberta and inspired her commitment to helping make that vision a reality.
From the Society's early days, when it operated solely with an outdoor arena, Joyce devoted countless volunteer hours to maintaining the grounds after events. As the organization grew, so did her role. Today, she works behind the scenes managing bills, financial records, and invoices, the essential administrative backbone that keeps the facility running smoothly.
Joyce's greatest passion is the Senior Pet Visit Program, an initiative she envisioned and built from the ground up. Inspired by her love of animals and her desire to bring companionship to seniors, Joyce has led the program's growth from visits to a few care homes into a cherished initiative that now serves seniors in multiple residences across Medicine Hat and Bow Island. She continues to coordinate visits, build partnerships, and create meaningful experiences through the Egg-to-Chicken Hatch, Butterfly Hatch and live animal visits. Many of the seniors have farming and ranching backgrounds, and these visits spark treasured memories, conversations, and connections to a way of life that remains close to their hearts.
Joyce continues to be a steady, committed presence within the Dunmore Equestrian Society, a founding influence, a hands-on volunteer, and a heart-forward leader who has helped shape the Society into the thriving organization it is today.
