  • A Keeper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The story is excellent My friend used to have an audio on cassette, lost now. I wish someone would reproduce it again!!!!!! I have given copies of the book to many friends, My friend and I went on a road trip, we listened to the cassette and laughed our heads off. It is a keeper. Yes, it is about 2 old women, but also survival and courage and friendship. When I first listened to it I may have been in my 50s, now I am 76.
