Hi,
I came across your blog by way of Being Momma Daily.
Just wanted to comment on the What I’m Reading post. I too read the Wally Lamb book – Couldn’t Keep it to Myself about a year ago. Great reading and the stories were so moving. These women were honest and wrote from their hearts.
For me, the stories did not evoke sympathy for these ladies, but understanding. The stories were not written from a “victimized by society or situation” point of view.
If you like fiction, I just finished reading The Darkest Child. Outstanding story, but horrific main character. No mother should be that bad.
