"This is a portrait of a city I love as well as a self-portrait of a woman who changed my life profoundly, and who I miss every day. Through the oral history tradition she helped found with her groundbreaking book, “Edie,” Stein chronicled the histories of prominent Los Angeles families, including her own, through edited interviews with a huge cast of characters, a masterwork by the most intuitive conversationalist I ever knew."

80's Classic
One of those cool 80's films that was something totally different. Two teenage boys manage to programme the perfect woman into their computer, little did they expect for her to become real. So funny, very cool film. If you like Ferris Bueller's day off check this out.
  
It’s 1914. American women are demanding the vote. And the first flames of the Great War are

 igniting Europe. But a battle of a different sort rages in Oklahoma. The thermometer registers one hundred six degrees, an out-of-the-ordinary occurrence even for the twenty-eighth day of July. But this is no ordinary day. The jury has reached a verdict. Lily fidgets in the old church pew. Her name has clotted into a by-word. Her blood is tainted. Can she right the wrongs? Or will her past forever define her? She eyes the judge. And the courtroom holds its breath.


My thoughts : This is an interesting story of a young woman struggling with her past. Her.
 father beat  her and now she is afraid for her brother.  Lilly heads to Texas where a job awaits her, but God has other plans.


This is a good story.  I like the mystery of the sea chest and reading the ancient journal Lilly`s mother left her.

What I saw in this story was a young woman find I ng her way in the world, and finding God.  A story of love, and letting go of the past.
