Not a Book Review

This one will be added to my list of all-time favorites. I'd never heard of it before the used book sale. Many thanks to Olivia for recommending it! The stories are little slices of reality told with poetic softness. Truly original.



"I make a story for my life, for each step my brown shoe makes. I say, "And so she trudged up the wooden stairs, her sad brown shoes taking her to the house she never liked."

This book is the reason I read!

I read this in a Womens Studies class in college and really loved it. She just came around Seattle on a book tour, but I missed her talk. I think she has a new book out recently.
