Thank you Bookworm-lady for this great surprise in my mailbox! I love belated gifts just when I think the fun is over for the year. :-) I hope to start this book soon.
Thanks again to Bookworm-lady for sharing this book with me. It covered so much more than the movie -as is usually the case - going back to the West Computers being hired during WWII. It's as much a story of segregation, women's rights and the civil rights era in the American south as it is a story of the individual women. There were times that I could have used a list of "characters" to keep everyone straight; but other than that, I enjoyed it.
This is going in the car for a road trip to Paintsville, KY. It will be released along the way with details added when I have time.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

Picked this up at the inaugural SoCal Spring Fling Geocaching Mega event. I am currently reading another book but almost done. I’ve seen the movie but excited to see what else is in the book.
