Book Description
I have always loved short writing--either short stories or essays. Journalists who can report and tell stories about everyday people and events always draw me in. Marjorie Williams recent book, a collection of her pieces from The Washington Post touched me on just about every level--her insight into politics, her family and her fate--reminded me once again how good writing touches us on every level. I read until I cried.
