A Good Book
In the meantinme, I found another book, "The Middle Place," (I would underline if I knew how), by Kelly Corrigan. It is written like a novel, with the exception that it is fully factual, and it will make you laugh and also cry--much like this place here. It would be a great book for our younger members here who have young children.
Check it out. I got it at Border's Books (when I was looking for the other one) and it was $14.95, paperback.
Better go...my husband is waiting to dust and I'm still straightening the house (took a detour when I remembered the guiena's name and their breed, posted under PODS if anyone is interested ). Anyway, it was a good excuse to be back with my friends, again.

PS
I was told that I, too, should write a book one day, but I doubt if anyone would believe my story either.

Middle Place
I read a synopsis of the book you recommend, and though I am an avid reader ( I think if there were a need for a 12 step for readers I would have to be counted among them!) "The Middle Place" ( I don't know how to underline, either!) doesn't fit in with my ongoing Ostrich Therapy, no matter how good the book may be! LOL
I lost my dad when I was a young woman,and I am now a BC survivor; as soon as I read that those exact events and how they impacted the author's life are main parts of the book~ I knew if I were in a book store holding that book, I would put it back on the shelf. Even if it became a Pulitzer Prize winner, or the writer got the Nobel Prize for literature. It isn't her, of course, it's me! I fully acknowledge that.
I have been seeing ad's for the movie "My Sister's Keeper"~ there is no way I would watch that, either! Again, the Ostrich in my life won't allow that!
Some of the sisters in here mention seeing great, albeit tear-producing things on TV; I recently recall posts about Farrah Fawcett's cancer battle. I couldn't bear it.
I thank you nevertheless for the recommendation, and I feel certain many of the readers in here will be uplifted by it's words.
I have been thinking of giving up the Ostrich Therapy~ people keep tripping over my fat backside, and the worst part is, I keep getting a mouthful of sand, cuz I won't be quiet!
Should I decide to be a Big Girl and actually stand up and face things, I just might find myself reading 'The Middle Place"...one never knows! Just not today!
Thanks again and Hugs,

you sound like one of the bravest individuals I know from your posts and all-I don't know how much of an ostrich you are! Maybe just real like the rest of us!0 -
I love to read...Kylez said:I like the posting of books.
I like the posting of books. Thanks!
so, maybe in my summer off from work, I will find more books that may interest others. I make an annual trip to the used book store in the basement of the Lansing Public Library and I can get books there for $0.50 and up. Most of the books are under $2, it's a great place to spend an afternnon and then come home with boxes of books that cost you less than a meal for two at McDs. Maybe I'll find some inspirational books there on how others beat this thing.
