Small Town Girl Makes it Big

My Rating: 4/5 Review: The book was so long, and the subject so ordinary, that you'd think it would be boring. It wasn't. I found myself enjoying Dena Nordstrom's story. She's a famous news reporter with an interesting past, and a mysterious mother who disappeared on her around Christmas a long time ago. The characters in the book are all so very real, and most of them quite humorous in their little ways. I love how Dena's character develops, and was quite pleased with the ending. Book Description: Once again, Flagg's humor and respect and affection for her characters shine forth. Many inhabit small-town or suburban America. But this time, her heroine is urban: a brainy, beautiful, and ambitious rising star of 1970s television. Dena Nordstrom, pride of the network, is a woman whose future is full of promise, her present rich with complications, and her past marked by mystery.
