I just got done reading "Maude". I am actually pretty speechless. It is such a heartfelt story. I could not put the book down. I laughed and cried. My heart actually broke several times. I do not want to give the story away by going into details. I do wish some people were not rude, ungrateful, useless, and had some consideration for others. It is truly the reality of life though. I would like to hug Donna. Maude's precious belongings for example the bible, nightgown. Great history of Detroit, Buick, GM car companies, old school family values, and experiencing different eras. From Tennessee to Michigan wonderful story.
