In the days when Chinese girls' feet were still forcibly bound, opportunities for those girls to learn about life outside the family circle were slim. In Lisa See's novel Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, two close friends grow up together until a misunderstanding threatens to shatter their bond. It's up for discussion at the latest meeting of the Crockett Library Book Club, at Crockett Library (991 Loring Ave., Crockett), on August 30. Refreshments will be served. 2 p.m. CCCLib.org
