The Kennedy Debutante
by Kerri Maher

Wonderful blast from the past! (6/11/2018)

Victoria
by Daisy Goodwin

Very, very good! (12/5/2016)

Loved this book- it was well written and explored the life of a young girl who couldn't descend the stairs alone one day until the next day she was the Queen of England. She was young and inexperienced but soon learned the ways of the Court. great reading that makes me …more
