Reviews

[Herb · Rating 3 out of 5]

As a small child, I used to watch the daytime soap opera "As the World Turns" with my mother. I was always taken with the actress Eileen Fulton, who has played Lisa on that show for about 40 years. This is her second memoir and is entertaining. Somewhat informative, but no work of art, but then, I didn't expect it to be. A fun read.

I was a big "As the World Turns" fan. Reading my second Eileen Fulton book, I love the way "Lisa chats." It is just like us sitting at a kitchen table, like the Carolina girls we are.
