I am really enjoying these stories. I love how easily she tells her experiences. It's fascinating to see into her life and feel what she's feeling. She's very good at allowing the reader to do that. The interview with the author at the end was fantastic, too! ( )

I found these stories of varied interest. I was most interested in her analysis of her young married life. ( )
