pickA 1942 bestseller that's being republished in May. An ambitious saga about three young women and their search for love, acceptance, and success. At 800+ pages, it's ridiculously long, and yet, it kept my attention. I grew to respect Hale for believing the experiences of women deserve such serious treatment. Set in the 1920s & 30s, but not much has changed. Men can be brutes, women's sexuality is punished, and every choice comes at a cost.👇
Currently reading reading this 1942 novel set to be republished this spring. It's 842 pages long.
It's pretty good, but not sure it's 842-pages-long good. 🤨
Has anyone read it? Apparently it was a big hit back in the day.

#gratitude30 #inspiration This may sound corny, but as I thought about this prompt, with the background of the events of the last couple of weeks, I was drawn back to the principles of my Unitarian Universalist faith. I‘m especially mindful of the first principle, the inherent dignity and worth of every individual. Inspiring words for me.
Went to a barbecue with my husband‘s Lodge brothers today...it was hot and humid and no air was moving. Cleopatra came home and did exactly what I wished I could do, pass out on the floor to recover. #introvertproblems
so-soI was kinda sorta trying to decide if I wanted to join the Unitarian Universalist church and this book was recommended to me. It's...meh...their beliefs basically align with mine (which is pretty easy for a church without a creed to accomplish), but often while reading this it felt as though the authors were championing themselves for how progressive UUs are. I get bored by many progressives who are just so pleased with themselves thus, meh...
