Seasons of Life

One of Fern Michael’s best books. This is the story of Ruby Conners Blue and the challenges and triumphs in her life. She grew up in a very dysfunctional family and in spite of a poor upbringing she became a business success. I devoured this book and highly recommend it.

Seasons of Her Life by Fern Michaels
