Full of Warmth and Sparkle!By OrindaMy Charmed Life is one of those wonderful books that you can curl up with. laugh. cry. and just completely escape with. It made me think of my mother and grandmother and our shared experiences - although I have to admit. my jewelry isnt quite as nice. Being born around the same time as the author. it brought back wonderful memories - and the humor is right on the mark! I caught myself laughing out loud in more than a few spots. I loved the book so much that I bought a copy for a young friend just starting college. I hope the stories of love. warmth. sharing. as well as independence will serve as an inspiration to her. just as it did me.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

In a funny touching way...By MicheleThis is a great book for men and women who like stories filled with feelings and funny anecdotes. This is a life trip through family values and a search for Mister Right.She touches on the universal topics of romance. family and loss with heart. wisdom and witt. Jewelry acts as the back-drop for what we can relate to. I loved her conversational style that made me feel as if I was part of the book while I was reading it.
