If I Had a Hammer

I like Rosie O’Donnell. I used to watch her talk show frequently and it was sure to make me laugh. She made A League of Their Own for me. I may not always agree with her politics, but I tune out when celebrities talk about that for the most part anyway. I don’t personally turn to [...]

It tells the story of a woman, liberally educated for that time, and her relationships with her adoptive father, her husband, and a man [...]
