What a lucky day to find "The Mother Who Stayed" in my local Housing Works thrift shop in NYC. As I savor each word of each miraculous story, I thank the mother -- or father or teacher or other wise individual -- who nurtured your very special gift. Thank you for stories of the classical kind rather than the smug, snarky, stingy sentence kind that litter the literary landscape these days. So glad to have found you, Laura Furman. Count me an enthusiastic new fan!
