The book club's March pick, Mary Jane, by Anya Blau, is a coming-of-age story set in 1970's Baltimore. Mary Jane, 14, who comes from a quiet conservative household, takes a summer job as a nanny for a local doctor's family. The environment in that home is as chaotic as her family's home is orderly, especially when a rock star and his movie star wife move in.
