1 True College Money Since 1978 – Seventh Edition

by Idalah D. Womack, M.S.W., P.T.S., L.C.S.W.

book review by Michael Radon

“People who have completed college and received grants while they were students are more likely to share grant information with you.”

Quotes by Christopher Klim  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The smell of grease in the Horseshoe Diner was strong, like the residuals of every meal that had ever been cooked over its open griddle. I lingered in a corner booth near the window, speaking to my wife Ava on the cell phone. With as much free time as a corpse, I pondered past mistakes, but I kept the call short before she asked too many questions and revived the dying thoughts in my mind. A man was a sharp and useful tool, I thought, as long as he never paused to consider it.”
Christopher Klim, True Surrealism

“I had built a life where nothing failed expectations—bills were paid, heaters kept heating, roofs never leaked. We could be framed and shot by the Good Housekeeping paparazzi, and they would never catch a brick out of place, a shrub overgrown, or our boys in shoes or pants a half size too small. Our life was perfect, until I ruined everything.”
Christopher Klim, True Surrealism
