Grain of salt time..., March 19, 2006
This review is from: Ever Since Adam and Eve (Hardcover)
Circumstances can and do change. Self-reliance is not a bad thing. Enjoy baking bread if you want, but be prepared to be a bread winner if your spouse is injured and can't work, dies or leaves you.
Ms. Hekker spent 40 years as a homemaker only to be left by her husband [who served her papers on their 40th anniversary] for a younger woman. She essentially put herself in the position of being 'one man away from poverty'.
If you are a conservative woman considering this book, re-read Proverbs 31. Note that the woman is praised for her work ethic purchasing real estate, running a business, and managing what we'd probably call a ranch. The industry of the Proverbs 31 woman in no way diminishes her womanhood, but rather makes her more valuable than rubies to her husband.
