Henry VIII and "Choosing a Good Husband"
Last weekend, my husband and I dropped in on the Midwest Catholic Family Conference here in Wichita to visit the vendors--particularly to meet with one vendor and one speaker. My husband took this picture and then recognized the juxtaposition of one of the images on my book and the title next to it--Henry VIII and The ABC's of Choosing a Good Husband!

It is an understatement to say that his Queens should have read this book before venturing into a relationship with Henry!! Very funny observation.
