    Thanks Jeanna! The lady at the bookstore was raving about it and said that the book got passed around to all her co-workers & then to family members.

    Loved, loved, loved this book!! This book made me proud to be a woman. I'm up for reading it again, if we can get the book club moving again- that would be a wonderful choice!!!
