Caroline at Kepler's

Ya hoo!  I am guest blogging at Kepler's again today-and giving away a copy of Feed Me, edited by Harriet Brown, which features my essay, The Grief Diet, about a toxic, controlling ex-boyfriend who would not let me eat (and why I stayed with him.)

Oooo, Caroline! When you nostalgically mentioned MOVING ON in your blog today at Kepler's, it brought back such a happy reading memory for me. Every New Year's Day I type out a graded list of books read that previous year and I keep them in a tattered red box. I just now pulled out that box and found that I'd read MOVING ON in 1970 (the year I first started keeping track, actually), and I had given it an "A"!

Mary, isn't it a wonderful book? I got my copy out of a used bookstore and I still have it--Huge! Big brown cover. I read and read and so adored that book! I'm so happy to find another person who loved it, too! I read in a recent edition that readers were mad at McMurtry for having Patsy cry so much, but I frankly liked that about her! I loved that whole crowd: Patsy and Emma and Danny Deck, of All My Friends Are Going to be Strangers (another great McMurtry book.)

Kindred spirits, Caroline . . . (smile). I still have mine, too, only my cover is white. Bet I got mine from Literary Guild way back then. (I liked Patsy's crying, too. Nicely emotional.)

Now I want to go read it again! I'm going to go find my copy!
