Do you remember when Oprah was overweight and she use to pick out a rock-on book every month? You know, back in the days of OPEN HOUSE and DROWNING RUTH? If we could go back in time, this might have been one of those books she selected.

    The main character is named Claire Crispin Danner not Sheila Crispin Cook. I don't even remember anyone at all with that name. Whoever wrote your intor obviously didn't read the book.
