Now I’m super intrigued, and I need to read this book! I have a slight obsession with the '60s, so I think I’ll love this. Great piece; thanks again, Amanda!!!

I know I read this before, but I had to read it again. She is on my list of people to read. Well, on my kindle. I might just have to get the book too. This is what I have been looking for. Not to fit in with the female crowd and think I know, I truly want to know. Thank you for writing about her. Thank you for going into detail. There is a reason I found your work. I don't know why yet, but I'll figure it out. Just know, in all your work, you have done your job well and touch my mind and thoughts. Bless you. ❤️
