There is a voice of longing inside each woman. We strive so mightily to be good: good partners, daughters, mothers, employees, and friends. We hope all this striving will make us feel alive. Instead, it leaves us feeling weary, stuck, overwhelmed, and underwhelmed. We look at our lives and wonder: Wasn’t it all supposed to be more beautiful than this? We quickly silence that question, telling ourselves to be grateful, hiding our discontent—even from ourselves.

Recognition
Revisado: 01-14-23
It is my humble opinion, that every woman and, perhaps, every man should read, and/or listen to this book, at least once, if not more than once. Glennon Doyle has put in the spotlight, the boundaries under which I have railed for my whole life. I just did not know what they were called. She has named them.
What a brave woman she is! I wish I could’ve been this brave in my 20s or 30s, even my forties! However, I do believe that all things come in due time. It is my turn now to be brave even though I’m in my 70s. Thank you, Glennon Doyle, for recognizing the cheetah in all of us.

Hadley Freeman knew her grandmother, Sara, lived in France just as Hitler started to gain power, but rarely did anyone in her family talk about it. Long after her grandmother’s death, she found a shoebox tucked in the closet containing photographs of her grandmother with a mysterious stranger, a cryptic telegram from the Red Cross, and a drawing signed by Picasso. This discovery sent Freeman on a decade-long quest to uncover the significance of these keepsakes, taking her from Picasso’s archives in Paris to a secret room in a farmhouse in Auvergne to Long Island to Auschwitz.

Worth reading a second time
Revisado: 05-04-22
Hadley Freeman has really opened my eyes with her research about France’s involvement and collaboration with Germany to eliminate the Jewish People from their country and, perhaps, the world. Her comparison with what is happening here in our country at this time is spot on. The story is one of survival and fantastic determination to triumph despite unbelievable odds. I thought it was just Germany. It was also France.. It is well written and well read. I plan on reading it again.

Simply put: Everybody came to Polly's. Pearl "Polly" Adler (1900-1962) was a diminutive dynamo whose Manhattan brothels in the Roaring '20s became places not just for men to have the company of women but were key gathering places where the culturati and celebrity elite mingled with high society and with violent figures of the underworld - and had a good time doing it.

Colorful Woman centered historical fiction
Revisado: 02-24-22
Polly Adler‘s spunk, fortitude, determination, loyalty, strength and ingenuity were rife in this very well-written, interesting saga which brought to life the roaring era of America’s history and showed a side of it that we don’t often see. It is a down to earth revealing of human nature and the personalities of different famous people in our history and how what they did that no one knew they did has helped form us as the people we are (albeit a “seedy side” or not).
