Yes, some angst and tears but, overall, her life has been wonderful and she's a blessed woman. A while back, I did a web search on her, her husband...interesting reading. They both have grit and determination, necessary ingredients, imo, for a life well lived. They've done well; I'm looking forward to her "island" book and then, the book on her 2016 to be Scotland journey.Thistle Cove Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722295191884810953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6297631190403710992.post-80723383719166781532016-01-24T18:57:25.542-05:002016-01-24T18:57:25.542-05:00It doesn't sound like something I'd like t...It doesn't sound like something I'd like to read. After being a teen in the late 60's and early '70's, I don't really crave a return visit. And, yes, I believe '60's California probably was radically different than '70's Mississippi. I lived on the outskirts of Boulder, CO during the late '60's and all of the '70's. They were well ahead of my home state of Texas as far as debauchery was concerned. I guess being part of the "Bible belt" slowed down the advance of that sort of thing. Thanks for your thoughts on the book. Very interesting!Lisa Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00567160304529796810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6297631190403710992.post-65642937994180760562016-01-22T14:17:54.988-05:002016-01-22T14:17:54.988-05:00An excellent, insightful review.

The concept of Making a Dream World Happen (capital letters intentional!) is shared by other well-known women. Martha Stewart and Ree Drummond come to mind. Yes, what they show the public is extraordinary, but they are still real people who don't necessarily live ideal lives. None of us can do that down here.
