Una mujer de recursos / A Woman of Independent Means

A bestselling sensation upon its publication in 1978, "Una mujer de recursos" has delighted millions of readers and was the inspiration for the television mini-series starring Sally Field. At the turn of the century, a time when women had few choices, Bess Steed Garner inherits a legacy not only of wealth but of determination and desire, making her truly a woman of independent means. From the early 1900s through the 1960s, we accompany Bess as she endures life's trials and triumphs with unfailing courage and indomitable spirit: the sacrifices love sometimes requires of the heart, the flaws and rewards of marriage, the often-tested bond between mother and child, and the will to defy a society that demands conformity."
