This book, A Very Special Delivery by Linda Goodnight in my opinion has its good and bad points. Seems like the very special delivery is in irony for the self-miserable Molly whom keeps blaming herself for a certain circumstance.

“The Fountainhead” was written long before the book “Atlas Shrugged ” and practically appears to be some sort of a prelude to it, but a prelude , stretched out on the wonderful scale of 800 pages.
