When I was in high school I read Tender Victory by Taylor Caldwell, which became one of my favorite books. It also created a desire in me to read many more of her books. Over the years I remember reading Dear & Glorious Physician, Great Lion of God, Testimony of Two Men, and others whose names I don't recall. For years she was my favorite author. I searched for her books whenever I had extra time to read, but then gradually became interested in other authors and lost track of her writing.
Yesterday I went into Changing Hands Resale Shoppe to see a friend who was volunteering there. As I always do in second-hand shops I perused the used books to see if any looked interesting. Imagine my delight when I discovered that someone else must have loved Taylor Caldwell as much as I had! There on the shelf were 10, or more, old copies of her books, some with the original dust jackets. Many of them I had already read, but I ended up purchasing four, whose titles I didn't remember, for a grand total of $2.14. I was so excited to have rediscovered an old friend!
When I got home I immediately began reading A Prologue To Love, which has all indications of being a really good book. If you are unfamiliar with her work, and are tired of the 'fluff' and sensuality of much of today's fiction, I highly recommend her novels to you.
