A Woman of Independent Means | 
Black Friday book haul from local used bookstores! I don‘t need anymore books to read, but I‘ve been looking for a few of these for a while, I wanted a cheesy Christmas book, and I couldn‘t resist Sally Field‘s In Pieces for $4. 🖤📚

“I never realized she was a woman of independent means. I always attributed her sense of dignity and self-esteem to a more spiritual source.”
Intriguing and sometimes sad #epistolary novel. #readjanuary @RealLifeReading
pickI don't remember much about this, except the warm feelings I have when I think about it. It was one of my first 'grownup' books, I read it when I was around 12. First epistolary book too, added to the grownup-ness. #TBT
An epistolary story. I did not like Bess initially. She seemed too bossy and manipulative. However, she grew from appearing to be a shrew to one with financial shrewdness and assertive independence. And I wonder would she have had these qualities had she not inherited money that she controlled?
