Open Honest Raw Wonderful

Revisado: 09-21-24

Best autobiography ever. I loved this beginning to end!! what a wonder...and to hear that even stars face the same troubles as all the rest of us. heartwrenching and heartwarming. I learned so much and makes me want to try harder, be more!

For a while there I wasn't sure 'whodunnit' - usually Ive figured it out early on. Fun story.

Could listen to Julie Andrews read anything

Revisado: 01-19-19

her voice alone is worth the listen! what an amazing life (so far as it was covered in this book). Sure hoping she writes more about her life, picking up where she left off-you still so much to share Julie!

Delightful-if you loved The Princess Bride!

Revisado: 07-20-18

loved this book, all the insights, tender moments, and the profound impact the making of the movie had on all the wonderful people who were involved in creating this timeless classic. dont miss this read! all the stars weigh in, either with their own voices or with their narrative read by someone else.

Not a typical Elm Creek story

Revisado: 07-14-18

Serious topic covered in this one. was looking for the more typical lighter fare... but the story is well told. just very serious topic if slavery in the south... very adult content.

One of the top 4 in the series

Revisado: 06-08-18

Enjoyed this even though it had a lot of background on the characters that was in other books, it went deeper into it. can be enjoyed as a standalone book for someone who hasn't read the series.

good old Elm Creek.

Revisado: 02-25-18

some good story lines, however a few female characters lacked backbone and self esteem to a point where they felt so simpy and frustratingly naive, especially compared to the strong females running Elm Creek. Not my favorite of the series.

Different from the others in the series.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Runaway Quilt?

The memoir that was found - it had me on the edge of my seat - really intense story.

If you could take any character from Runaway Quilt out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Sylvia. She is strong, steadfast and a bit stuck in her ways. She reminds me of many of my elders. I love that these stories are set in rural Pennsylvania where 99% of my relatives still live. There is a nice connection there.

Any additional comments?

A real surprise is the mention of Santa Cruz in several of the stories. I live near Santa Cruz of all places and then the connection to rural PA where the rest of our relatives still live. What an incredible coincidence, it really brought the story "home" for me. The one downside of this book was the way the narrator "read" the memoir. It was not great, more like someone reading to a child. It did not have a "voice" that fit the story and I found it irritating for 3/4 of the memoir reading. Towards the end it seemed to shift to a voice that matched the writer. All in all, this story was really compelling, I loved the historical links!
