Review of 'Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This was an entertaining, frustrating, thought-provoking, and interesting read.

Dana Lone Hill is a good storyteller. Her characters were believable and likeable, in spite of their flaws.

The book could have used a good proof-read. There were times when errors made the text confusing. )These errors were not part of the characters' vernacular--those "errors" were clearly intentional and appropriate.) In spite of this, the book was readable, and the story moved along well.

I teach adults who have returned to school in hopes of improving their lives, and I know people like "Sis", the protagonist. So, this story hit very close to home for me.
