A Woman of Independent Means - Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey

Descriere A Woman of Independent Means - Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey

On the 20th anniversary of this beloved novel--a portrait of a woman with all her frailties (The Christian Science Monitor)--comes the first-ever trade paperback edition--just in time for Mother's Day. Features a new Letter to the Reader. \nA bestselling sensation when it was first published by Viking in 1978, A Woman of Independent Means has delighted millions of readers and was the inspiration for the television miniseries starring Sally Field. \nAt the turn of the century, a time when women had few choices, Bess Steed Garner inherits a legacy--not only of wealth but of determination and desire, making her truly a woman of independent means. From the early 1900s through the 1960s, we accompany Bess as she endures life's trials and triumphs with unfailing courage and indomitable spirit: the sacrifices love sometimes requires of the heart, the flaws and rewards of marriage, the often-tested bond between mother and child, and the will to defy a society that demands conformity. Now, with this beautiful trade paperback edition, Penguin will introduce a new generation of readers to this richly woven story. . .and to Bess Steed Garner, a woman for all ages.\n
