    I saw Isabel Wilkerson on Book TV, and the books sounds fascinating. I think you may watch it online if you wish (and if you don't have a slowish satellite internet connection as I do!)

Welcome and thanks for leaving me a comment. I love to hear from visitors.

Also, please note that while I appreciate the thought, I don't play the blog awards game. I think you all deserve awards! But you might think about becoming a follower of my blog -- that would really be the best award.
