Barbara Rinella, a former teacher, defines herself as an “academic entertainer.” For many years she has been celebrating literature and learning through her delightful programs on current books. Barbara is now thrilled to begin a dramatization of The Queen, Her Life by Andrew Morton as a true salute to now Angel Queen Elizabeth II, the longest reigning Queen ever!! Wonderful author Andrew Morton planned to publish this terrific analysis of Queen Elizabeth II's 96 years in April of 2023 (posibly to celebrate her 97th birthday on April 21, 2023), but when she died on Sept. 8, 2022, he released his wonderful history book in November, 2022, to celebrate her amazing life! Barbara is also presenting The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post by Allison Pataki . This wonderful historical fiction novel is like having a true conversation with a famous Power Woman who continued to build her father's amazing cereal company becoming one of the richest women in the world and truly helped build the role of women in the 20th Century! Barbara is also doing a terrific dramatization of The Chanel Sisters by Judithe Little. There were 3 Chanel sisters, and their father gives the young girls to a Catholic orphanage when their mother dies. The girls are upset, but they will learn lessons and find ways to blossom--especially Gabriel and her little sister, Antoinette, who become a real sister team! Lets wear pearls!! After dealing with challenges fighting Covid problems and hoping to get back to world peace, it is a terrific time to read books sharing stories of true POWER!
