In the Kingdom of Men by Kim Barnes
I loved this book from start to finish, and now want to read everything else the insightful Barnes has written. Following Gin from the back hills of Oklahoma all the way to the streets of Rome captured my imagination. I sympathized with her then changed my mind as she changed hers. The men in her life helped me as well as hindered her. Gin’s sadness at the end of the story told of her learning that we all have to take the sweet with the sour, the rough with the smooth. People try (and often fall short in their attempts) to be the best human being
s they can be. ~ Merrily
