Yes, all of her books are like that. I borrow them from my mother in paper if they sound interesting. This is exactly the sort of book my mother reads. In fact, when she came back from a month of Florida, her first words were 'I have a new book and you will *love* it!' And guess which book it was?
Can't wait until stepdad caves on getting a Kindle (he wants it, she isn't sure). I have a ton of much, much better stuff I can load onto it for her.
