Would I recommend it: Yes! It reads like a poignant coming-of-age novel sprinkled with humor.Ībout the book – from Goodreads: When Barbara Bracht’s mother disappears, no one tells the young girl that her mother has died. Marriage has to be 100 percent all the time, otherwise it doesn’t work.” “People say marriage is a fifty-fifty proposition, but that’s not true. I especially enjoyed Bob’s experience as a TWA hostess replete with her two piece jade green gabardine uniform! Barbara (nicknamed Bob) is a protagonist you can’t help but cheer for as she navigates life without her mother in the fifties and sixties.
