Newark author Mary E. Gilder has spun a fascinating romance, set in Chicago, for her debut book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Ms. Gilder’s book. I found the book to be a quick read simply because once I was into the world Ms. Gilder has created, I could not put the book down. I know that is an old cliche, but it fits this time. I think that you will enjoy, “A Misrepresentation of Myself,” as well.
