Yesterday

Summary: A Must Read!!
Review: Yesterday is about friends and friendship, and the lengths to which friends will go for each other in good times and bad. In true Fern Michaels' fashion, she lets us understand that true friends are a rare and special gift and should be treasured and cherised. Mama Pearl is a memorable character and makes me wish she had been a part of my life. Be sure to read this book...you won't be disappointed.

Summary: A must read
Review: Yesterday is the kind of book that makes one wish for the type of friends that surrounded Callie. It takes one down a path too few people have the chance to go. Friends like Bode.Brie and Sela are not easily found. Nor is a Callie. Her wealth meant nothing to her - her friends were more i,portant than her money. Notwithstanding her father's snobbishness Callie loved and was loved as few are.

The accident showed how much she meant to her friends and once one starts the book it is very difficult to put down till the end. It is an engrossing novel and as I said above "A must read."

Summary: Glad To See "Yesterday" Over!
Review: Yesterday revolves around the friendship of four childhood friends, reunited for the wedding of the "princess" of the group, Callie Parker. Callie was raised at Parker Manor, as was Bode Jessup, who was taken in by the Parker family, both were raised by the wonderful Mama Pearl. Sela Bronson and Brie Canfield are the other two friends who spend their childhood days playing with Callie and Bode. As they all gather for the Callie's wedding, Callie is involved in an accident that puts her in a coma. The whole story drags on and on about daily visits to Callie, how tired they all are, whats for supper, etc., and spends way too much time on racial issues. Callie is a spoiled snot who expects the world from Mama Pearl and never realizes how much her friends gave her. Which surprises me how Brie, Bode, and Sela can even consider her a friend, let alone how Mama Pearl can love her so much! Yesterday just did not have enough juice to keep me going and is not worth the time or energy to wade through!
