I have heard it gets better when she starts the section with Freda Kahlo, but I did not have the patience to stick it out.Elisabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5268744587166874784.post-38033318009073135422010-06-11T10:46:42.906-07:002010-06-11T10:46:42.906-07:00I'm not sure how I will find this book either....I'm not sure how I will find this book either.
