A must-see!!

What a great film!!  I ordered the book - no waiting around for the library to get it or have it - our library never seems to have anything!!

And I ordered a physical copy - I want to share it once I'm done.

I was proud to be a woman after seeing this!

One feature that truly impressed me was the scene where Katherine explains to her irate boss why she is gone for over 40 minutes every day - to walk - usually run actually - to the closest colored bathroom - which is 1/2 mile away! When I read about this scene in a review, it got me thinking about how dehumanizing it must be to be unable to take care of such a basic human need because society says you aren't good enough to use the available bathroom.  There was a similar passage in Road to Memphis, one in the series of novels following Roll Of Thunder, Hear My Cry.  

I'm not sure how people can be so unfeeling. And I loved how Kevin Costner said, after taking down the "Colored Restroom" sign, "At NASA, we all pee the same color!"

After my Poldark reading binge, I was left with nothing to read!!  Saw this book in the Friends of the Library bookstore - and since I'd enjoyed reading Drowning Ruth by the same author, I plunked down my $2!

It was a good read - a well-told story with a surprise ending - something I always appreciate. It covers a lot of interests - California Indians, lighthouse lore, sailing stories, and sea life. 

It was also easy to read in parts - I could read it each day with my lunch for one thing - always a plus in my book.

Let me know what you think!
