Kate’s 2¢: “Family Pictures” by Jane Green

“Family Pictures” by Jane Green

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

   This cartridge was one of the outomatically sent stories from the library. I was pleasantly surprised to find it was read by Martha Harmon Pardee, my all-time favorite reader.

   I enjoyed the story and was delighted as the jilted women discovered the inner strength to become successful in their own right.

   One of the important points, among many, was that Eve’s eating disorder wasn’t going to get better until she decided to get healthy.
