Honest, Open, and a Real Look at Life

I really liked this book. Action..it doesn't have..and forget mystery. It is the story of real people..in a real time..in a real situation. If you want a taste of yesteryear, a time when the man had the say and the woman followed blindly, then this is the book for you. I enjoyed the extras, the gardens, the flowers, and the cooking. I am still hungry for biscuits from having read this book. It has a satisfying ending and is a good story. I am glad I bought it and read it.
