reviewed on + 113 more book reviews


In the first 100 pages of this story, we see the heroine, Essie Spreckelmeyer, win a national fashion contest, incite a riot,successfully run Texas's 2nd largest oil company, found and take charge of a ladies bicycle organization, teach classes on how to properly shoot guns and play soccer (not at the same time, thank heavens), She's saved the life of a young girl bit by a rattlesnake and cooked up an award winning dinner. She's Wonder Woman!!! In fact the only thing keeping her from total perfection is a hidden secret from long ago - one which has shaped her very life but when uncovered is brushed over so lightly, we are never allowed to even understand the circumstances. IF those two things don't annoy you to distraction, this book is a lively, fun, enjoyable romp.
