⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It’s a story of a mother telling her secret past to her three grown daughters on a farm. The stories of her “glory” teens into 20s as an actress, dating with a movie star, the trips, her love, loss and drama. The plot is simple; its development is slow; and the writing is beautiful. It reads like a meditation book of love, family and life.
