Thanks so much for the copy of THE VIRGIN OF SMALL PLAINS. You were personally responsible for the fact that I got nothing done for a whole day other than reading and occasional sustenance. I loved the book and am recommending it to all members of the HBBC (Hot Broads Book Club). Thanks for a full day of fun reading! - Bettye Aboud

I received a copy of THE VIRGIN OF SMALL PLAINS and loved it!  I have already recommended it to a stranger I met in the library!  It is well-written and I will look for more books by this author.  I could picture the movie as I read.  Good read. - Deborah M. Johnson

Thank you so much for the complimentary copy of THE VIRGIN OF SMALL PLAINS.  I read Nancy Pickard's book when it first came out in hardcover, and re-read it when I received the complimentary copy.  The second reading provided even more insights, and it is a book that stays with you long after you have finished it. I took the liberty of passing it on to a friend of mine who belongs to another book club.  She called and thanked me for providing her with at least one sleepless night because she could not put the book down.  Needless to say, she will be keeping an eye out for Nancy Pickard's next book. - Irene T. Yeates

I just wanted to send you a note thanking you for the copy of THE VIRGIN OF SMALL PLAINS by Nancy Pickard which was recently sent to me.  I am a fan of Ms. Pickard’s Jenny Cain books, but was unaware that she was branching out to general fiction.  The book arrived just before my family began our annual beach vacation.  Once I began reading THE VIRGIN OF SMALL PLAINS, it was very hard to put down.  I particularly liked Ms. Pickard’s characters and her description of Midwestern small town life.  I have already passed my copy along to another friend, and will definitely be recommending it to our book group here at the office. Thank you again. - Anita I. Lotz

I recently also received a copy of THE VIRGIN OF SMALL PLAINS which I read and enjoyed very much. I spoke to several members of my book club about it and we are looking forward to reading it as one of our selections. I am one of the organizers of my book club, we have been meeting monthly since September of 1998 in Easton, PA. We are a group of twelve women between the ages of 30 and 65. We have become a very close knit group and our monthly meetings are looked forward to and enjoyed by all. - Stephanie Spangler

As a member, I'd just like to thank you for the recent copy of THE VIRGIN OF SMALL PLAINS. I absolutely loved this book and have lent it to various friends at my office who also enjoyed it. — Jennifer M. Evans


I am reading THE VIRGIN OF SMALL PLAINS right now and it is a wonderful book. I just wish I could hide -- away from my kids :) -- and read it this afternoon! I will be sure to post my comments in the next day or so! Thanks again! - Julie Peterson
