Her mother lives in a trailer on her property now. Oh my gosh, I actually got to hear Jeanette Walls speak this weekend and she was fabulously fascinating.

I could tell she had a lot of emotional stuff she was dealing with. Every once in a while I think about that book and wonder how she's doing. Riva - That sounds like a book I would love! I'm adding it to my wish list. Jen - I have never heard of Sickened - I'll have to check it out. Avis - you're welcome! Sandy – cool story!

It's an absolutely beautiful book about Swift's year of "staying put" in a small New England(?) town. In addition to beautiful prose, it's illustrated with the author's watercolors and line drawings.
