Description:

Review "A portrait of a woman with all her  frailties, strengths, failures and victories combining to  prove that living a life is an accomplishment."  -- The Christina Science  Monitor. "Nothing about it is ordinary" --  Los Angeles Times. "Wonderfully Appealing."-- Publishers  Weekly --This text refers to the Paperback edition. Book Description A bestselling sensation when it was first published by Viking in 1978, A Woman of Independent Means has delighted millions of readers and was the inspiration for the television miniseries starring Sally Field. At the turn of the century, a time when women had few choices, Bess Steed Garner inherits a legacy--not only of wealth but of determination and desire, making her truly a woman of independent means. From the early 1900s through the 1960s, we accompany Bess as she endures life's trials and triumphs with unfailing courage and indomitable spirit: the sacrifices love sometimes requires of the heart, the flaws and rewards of marriage, the often-tested bond between mother and child, and the will to defy a society that demands conformity. Now, with this beautiful trade paperback edition, Penguin will introduce a new generation of readers to this richly woven story. . .and to Bess Steed Garner, a woman for all ages.
