 Chasing Carole May 30, 2008
Chasing Carole is a unique book about the wonderful Carole Lombard, best known for her screwball comedy films and her marriage to the King of Hollywood, Clark Gable. Tales of her real life and times come together with a parallel story about her fictional illegitimate daughter and present day granddaughter. Lombard reaches beyond the grave to help her granddaughter come to terms with her ancestry, and that process affords the reader an opportunity to know and understand many things about Carole Lombard. The conversations between daughter and granddaughter about childhood visits to Lombard in California also make this book a very enjoyable read for the Carole Lombard fan.

Good Read; Entertaining Book May 20, 2008
I'm on page 210 of Barbara's book, and have a list of people waiting to read it! (My friends are all too cheap to buy their own copy!) But it's a fun read, and very interesting. If nothing else, it makes me want to research Carole's life! But it brings back a lot of memories for me, too. So if you haven't already done so, you should definitely check out this book!

 A great read! May 01, 2008
If you have ever wondered what life in the glory days of Hollywood was like, you will love this book. While a novel written about a real person, the story is engrossing, the plot is believable, the writing about Carole so real and compelling, the dialogue so true, that you feel intimately acquainted with Carole Lombard and Clark Gable by the time the book is done. Carole truly comes alive again in this book. The intertwining stories of Cass and her mother are no less compelling and thought provoking. All in all, a very good read. Highly recommended.
