The Wedding Dress by Danielle Steele
Starts in 1928 San Francisco and Eleanor's about to come out at the debutante ball.
She meets Alex at that party and over the weeks and months of having dinner they plan to wed. Love hearing of the wedding dress design work in France.
Eleanor comes down a cold and Alex panics because he had lost his wife to be 5 days prior to their marriage, Spanish flu which is similar to the virus we are suffering from in the world today.
Love hearing how they struggle and survive the years of depression, no money and war. Like hearing of their daughter and how strong Eleanor is with her family and parents.
Teen years, what a struggle there and she doesn't want to go to college or go to the coming out party or get married or have kids. She has her own mind and she knows she's good at what she does.
Love hearing how her dreams come true and give the family a nice living...
Like hearing where the dress goes after so many generations....tragic and great moments throughout the book, so strong and some are so weak.
Glad all the others really saw what was going on and stopped the support. Things just aren't fair.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
A Goose Creek Christmas (Tales from the Goose Creek B&B Book 4) by Virginia Smith
First time reading this series. Story about Albert and Millie and she is gearing up to open the B&B after the holidays.
The town busybody is busy obtaining Christmas decorations for the whole town and displays them all in her yard.
Albert has lost his job but it's more a retirement but he won't tell Millie.
So many others involved in what's going on this season. As this is the first in the series for me I felt like I was left in the dark, not knowing the normal crowd. Too much drama for me.
Liked hearing of the other careers in the town and businesses.

Fairy Tales from the German Forests by Margaret Arndt
Enjoyed these short fairy tale stories surrounding the German forests.
Thinking Grimm and the other bad creatures from the scary nights would make an appearance.
Such myths and legends come out of reading these stories.
