Reviews

[Mary Follis]

Excellent--a woman writer and all her quirks and friends through life, including Diedre the bag lady with all her "t'ings". "The feast of life is spread for all, but there are only so many places at the table."

[Janet]

Started off strong and wonderful, like something I myself would love to write. But she lost me at the end.
