Even more, I love the person who knows how to lift up the spirits of someone in the process of developing her writing craft. I am thankful for books that I can read, and review, in such a way that others experience a benefit (or feel an uplifting connection). Thank you for the boost!

I'm currently listening to the audio version of The Honey Bus with John (he's been working 7 days and 6-7 nights a week for months, so we can only listen to about 20-30 minutes at a time), and it's absolutely wonderful! This book sounds fantastic as well.

The challenges we faced were nothing compared to that of the young ladies who wanted to compete back in the 1920s and 1930s.
