Journal Entry 1 by EllyMae58 from San Diego, California USA on Friday, November 28, 2003

Bobby knows she must escape vicious husband Joe before he kills their six-year-old daughter, Penny. With her bruised and swollen face, she drives frantically from their upstate New York home to a well-to-do Connecticut enclave - and providentially is taken on as a nurse/companion to elderly stroke victim Alma. Both Alma and her novelist daughter Eva have doubts about the two, but Bobby is remarkably able, and it's soon obvious that both Bobby and Penny are essential to Alma's health and spirits. Eva, meanwhile, in disturbing reveries, comes to grips with traumatic memories of the death of a dear friend, by her husband, and with internal battles concerning the claims of art vs. moola. Eva tends to be curt with Bobby, but then her college-age daughter, Melissa, arrives for Christmas, and before long all the women are intensely important to one another. And there are good men - good, good men - around. Just when the happy household seems solidified, however, in comes Joe - armed, dangerous, and lunatic....

I've been on vacation for the last two weeks. When I came home, I found a note saying that I had a letter waiting for me in the PO. Got a real surprise since I found out it was the M-bag. :) Thank you to both EllyMae58 and Apolonia!

Journal Entry 6 by intry from Turku, Varsinais-Suomi Finland on Friday, September 29, 2006

This was a totally wonderful book. I've read earlier this year the book Black and Blue by Anna Quindlen and it was similar to this one. I think that this is a book that will stay inside of me for a long time, just as Black and Blue :-)
