Humanitarian Projects Delivered!!

   We finally delivered 100 baby dolls and their blankets to the Humanitarian Center.  We hope we make some little girls happy!  We also dropped off 20 quilts. With all of the recent disasters, the quilts will be very useful to someone who has probably lost everything.  Good Work Sisters!!

Marilyn's Bookshelf

du Maurier, Daphne, Rebecca

If you’ve never read any of du Mauier’s novels, of course the one you should start with is Rebecca, a great summer read.  The great stone house of Manderley on the Cornish coast of England sets the scene for the novel, as the second Mrs. DeWinter enters the scene with her new husband, Maxim.  Unfortunately, Housekeeper Mrs. Danvers, who has served the first Mrs. DeWinter is not at all happy with the arrival of the new wife.  As this tale unfolds, we are swept into phantoms of the past which wind a spell around the reader.  Du Maurier is a master of her craft as she takes us into the past with the life of Rebecca – truths and untruths.  You may just get hooked and decide to read others of the author, like Jamaica Inn, Frenchman’s Creek,or My Cousin Rachel.
