Who can resist reading a book with a leading character named after them? I know I can't. And that is how I came up on this book. An excerpt from Amanda/Miranda by Richard Peck - pg 56
"... It's a game, keepin' ahead of her commandments, but you can't win it."
"Your future lies beyond a mountain of ice, where you will die, and live again." The wisewoman's prophecy disturbs Miranda, a maidservent who bears an uncanny resemblance to her rich and arrogant mistress, Amanda Whitwell. Thrust into a tangled web of lies by Amanda, Miranda watches helplessly as one fateful night, a prophecy once foretold becomes reality... aboard the Titanic.

Isn't it lovely to go back and read books we loved as a young adult?
I haven't read this book but that's a great line!
You can find my 56 HERE
Sounds like a great book.
How cool is it to reread old faves or discover them.
What a retro cover... love it.

Thanks so much for delving into my head. It's scary in here sometimes, so it is nice to have company! Don't step on the zephyr...
