From the very first paragraph of Faithful Place by Tana French, I was grabbed and pulled in and didn't want to put it down. Frank and Rosie were young, and in love, and just about to set out on their way to England to find a new life for themselves, when something went wrong.  Read more >

The Kid by Sapphire is the story of Abdul, from the day of his mother’s funeral when he was nine years old, until about the age of eighteen. His story is very disturbing, frightening at times, and difficult to read for many reasons.  Read more >

I loved the movie version of Waiting to Exhale, so I was really excited to be able to read Getting to Happy by Terry McMillan. Her characters are all such strong, loving women that I feel like they could be real people, my friends in real life.  Read more >

Sometimes you are surprised by what you learn in reading a novel. In Geraldine Brooks new book, Caleb's Crossing, the surprise for me was learning about how women were treated in the 1600s in the new world. Though I had probably read about this somewhere before, it was new to me that women, or girls, were not encouraged to learn.  Read more >

About Me: 

In August of 2000, I persuaded my husband to sell our house and all our stuff, and hit the road in a travel trailer. We have worked in campgrounds and resorts since then. We decide where we want to go, then find a job there. Wherever we go, our children and grandchildren come to visit when they can. We go home to Georgia as often as we can to spend time with family and catch up with friends. I call myself a wannabe photographer, and try to take some photos every day. Some days I get something good, other days it is just practice. Other things I do to keep myself from going crazy are quilting, sewing, soapmaking, fishing, selling things on ebay, and cooking. My husband, Jim, and I love to try out the local foods wherever we may be. We laughingly say we are eating our way across America.

Something about me that might surprize you: I was once frisked by the secret service while wearing a bathing suit!
