Bonnie, I LOVE this book. Only have about 15% left, and know it will be the top of my favorite reads for 2022. Some of the lines are hilarious and I've highlighted them. Some of the women's issues you raise are still with us, and the US seems to be going backwards. I wonder if you knew what was coming? I feel the same emotions the characters do. What a great book!

It is really strange that the book was published and then just a few months later, Roe v Wade bit the dust. Unbelievable! So glad you liked the book; thank you!

Your humor made me laugh out loud. (Thanks! I needed that.) I can relate to everything about the sixties. I had parents who encouraged me to believe I had no limits, but male bankers and men in general kept me confined even as I owned my own business. Had to have my ex-husband's name on my credit card, for example. To avoid (yet another) banker's rejection, my brother went to lenders, sitting silently beside me?

I watched the TV series first and then bought the book and read it at once! Amazing storytelling, I enjoyed it so much. I hope you carry more stories, and I'll be reading them all! I only have one question - have you always known that you'd like to write a book or did it just happen?
