AmyG Such I good book. I read this over 40 years ago. 😬 1d

GinaKButler @AmyG The past few years, I‘ve made an effort to read some backlist books I‘ve missed over the years. I usually end up enjoying them more than the newer releases. 😊 1d

CoverToCoverGirl I read this book 40ish+ years ago and it‘s one I‘ve never forgotten. The mini-series with Richard Chamberlain was well done for it‘s time too. 1d
