Amazon Dreams,
By Susan L. Miller (Novato, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Amazon Dreams (Paperback)
'Amazon Dreams' by Anna Randolph is a truly amazing book. Through vivid flash backs, we learn about the life of Paula Deland, and her courageous, lonely battle to end the eons- old struggle between men and woman.The author writes so well that it allows the usually vicarious reader into her characters mind and heart- one really cares and empathizes with her experiences on a deep level. For me, that is what reading is all about. My favorite parts were the descriptions of how Paula's physical training allowed her not only to compete on an even playing field, but also to own her power as a female and a professional. This is a book that I will read over and over, because the nuances of her journey continue to grow and resonate more fully each time.

Amazon Dreams,

This review is from: Amazon Dreams (Paperback)
This book is perfect for a screen play. It is a true story and I enjoy reading about the life of a woman who persued her career, and made a splash into the male world of police work. This to me took determination and perserverence. It is an eye opener to the inside of the Police force in San Francisco in the 60's.

Ms. Randolph weaves realistic portrayals of "days in the life of a San Francisco police officer" into this heartwarming story,relevant to all who have faced the dilemma of staying true to her own values or sacrificing those values to gain acceptance and/or the continued receipt of a paycheck. "Amazon Dreams" is an enlightening voyage to maturity.
