Journal Entry 1 by brideofmessiah from Hillsboro, Missouri USA on Thursday, June 16, 2005

Received from a FreeCycler, and passing it along, as I have another copy.

From the back of the book: "For thirty years, folks on Litle Tall Island have been waiting to find out just what happened on the eerie dark day Dolores Claiborne's husband died - the day of the total eclipse. Now, the police want to know what happened yesterday when her rich, bedfridden employer died suddenly in her care. With no choice but to talk, Dolores gives her compelling confession...of the strange and terrible links forged by hidden intimacies...of the fierceness of a mother's love and its dreadful consequences...of the silent rage that can turn a woman's heart to hate. When Dolores Claiborne is accused of murder, it's only the beginning of the bad news. For what comes after that is something only Stephen King could imagine...as he rips open the darkest secrets and the most damning sins of men and women in an ingrown Maine town and takes you on a trip below its straitlaced surface."
