Not only did I devour this fantastic book, but my Mom raved about it when I bought her a copy. Fern Michaels is a GREAT writer and deserves every success and accolade!
A great read!! Disparate characters, a great story that spans the adult life of one woman who when from an abusive childhood to one of the wealthiest women in the US! I loved it.
Always recommend Fern Michaels, terrific writer
Read this on a cruise. very entertaining.
Well developed characters. It shows how we need to stay engaged with something as we age. I’m in the winter of my life so it was inspirational.
It was hard to lay down. The book was so true how we go through the seasons in our life
One of the best books I have enjoyed in a long time. Paperback printing was a little hard on my eyes would recommend reading larger print copy. Passing it around to my friends at the Retirement Center.
Hard to get into
Don’t like her mystery novels but her contemporary romances, even some of the historicals which I usually don’t like, are great.
The strength of the characters is powerful and inspirational
I enjoyed reading this book and going through the seasons with the characters!
This was one of the best books that I have read in a long time. I couldn’t put it down, I cried, laughed and admired the characters. An EXCELLENT read!
I love Fern Michels. The Sisterhood Series is by far my favorite
Wonderful book with twist and turns. Follows her life into all seasons of her life.
Kinda a strange book, but I couldn’t put it down. Really like Fern Michaels. She’s different.
I enjoyed the characters in it.
Can’t beat anything by Fern Michaels!
Amazing book about a very strong woman
I really liked the book and the Journey of Ruby’s life until the last quarter of the book. Up until then Ruby was a strong woman who made decisions that positively affected her life. But towards the end of the book the entire plot got silly and off track, almost as if the author couldn’t decide how to end the story. It got so dumb that I quit reading it. It was a waste of my time. Sad because I really enjoyed the book up until then.
Awesome book
