Tender Morsels—changing lives, all over town

This reader's impressions made me cackle, too—and then glow:

Wow, was that a read and a half! It was so beautiful, and the beginning of it so shocking and sad, and then it almost meanders along in this lovely story of three women growing up and growing old together and I remember thinking "Hmm, Margo hasn't ripped my heart from my chest yet" and then BANG! The last 20 pages of the book and I finished with tears in my eyes. I sat and hugged the book to my chest, like I didn't want to let it go.

And then she does some serious thinking about herself, her life.

What a privilege, to have someone hug your story to their chest. Yes, I know Justine, you did it first.
