Interesting figure, such small flaws that consumed so much of her time. What else could she have done if her debts hadn't been so out of control all her life? Sad.

Chariots of the Gods?

Chariots of the Gods?
By Erich von Daniken
153p

Must have been much more shocking when it was published over 40 years ago.  Interesting scenario on page 54- 5000 years from now, archaeologist find fragments of the Statue of Liberty and decide it's an unknown divinity- maybe a fire god (torch) or a sun god (rays around head).  But it's neither.  Are doing the same thing with ancient statues that we find?

Mount Vernon Love Story
By Mary Higgins Clark

Very good story! Sweet and amusing but sad at times too. I wonder what she would do with a full length story of Washington, this wasn't anywhere near long enough for his life.
