Whether Julie Andrews is enchanting us with her portrayals of Mary Poppins, Maria von Trapp, a thoroughly modern flapper named Millie or gender-bending Victor and Victoria, the singer/actress/author always can be counted on to delight us.

I was counting on Home Work: A Memoir of My Hollywood Years to be just as enchanting. And it is.

Thank you, Donna. I think you'll really enjoy the Blossom Trilogy. It's an epic series based in California, starting with a forbidden love triangle set against the horrific 1906 earthquake and firestorm in San Francisco.

The second book, BLOSSOM ON THE ROAD OF DREAMS, is all about following you heart. Blossom's fresh start begins with Brock…and ends by running away in a horse-drawn wagon. Desperate for change, Blossom knows she can’t hide her darkest secret for long. Will that secret ruin her new life and new love?
