Thank you to Meredith Schorr for sending me a copy of Blogger Girl .   I was given this copy in exchange for an honest review.   It appealed to me because I blog as well and love Chick Lit. This is my first Meredith Schorr novel. I hope you are a fan of her writing like I am.

March is Women in history month.   Today I am sharing all about Anne Morrow Lindbergh.   Melanie Benjamin’s novel The Aviator’s Wife is a fictional account of her life.   When I was little I loved reading about women and their biographical stories.   What can we learn about Anne Lindbergh? Synopsis:   Anne’s story is told in two different story lines.   One is in 1974 where the family including Anne is on the way to take Charles Lindbergh to his final resting place.   She has a few questions that need answering by Charles before he dies.   Will the answers be satisfactory for her?   The other story line starts in the mid-1920s when an Ambassador’s daughter meets the colonel (Charles Lindbergh) that is famous all over the land.   She is the middle daughter and therefore not the one that is expected to marry first.   That honor was supposed to go to her sister Elizabeth, but she was not chosen by the famous Lindbergh.   What will life be life with him? My Thoughts:

He was in her father’s regiment.   This soldier is fighting under an assumed name Corporal Caswell.   He is also linked to murders that occurred in both England and India.     Can Bess clear her father’s name? What really happened, and did Lieutenant Wade really commit these murders?   An investigation ensues with Bess and Simon putting the clues together.   My Thoughts:   Charles Todd is actually a mother son writ
