Picked up this title at the annual Sloop Fair yesterday. It's just the kind of book I'd like to write, folksy yet informative, with helpful quilting hints sprinkled here and there. Kudos to author Kathy Lamancusa!

Superb storytelling.

hauntingly rendered and astringent without being caustic. only the tears of recognition sting as they erupt and set me free.

McBride's prose is achingly beautiful page after page.

Parts of this how-to, self help guide is written with such heartfelt prose it sings and the reader is carried along on the heart's currents. Other sections feel obligatory, as if the writer has abandoned interest now that she's won the prize or at least found new motivations for communicating and getting up each day that don't require feigned interest. Still, I'm glad she wrote it and that I read it.

So inspiring and challenging is Mycoskie's vision that I'm sharing it as required reading in composition classes come fall.

A dear family friend sent this title to me knowing I was stalled in the publication process of my own father's letters. It's been great company through this fallow time.

Reading while backing-up photos to external hardrive. A year-overdue to-do. This truly is the year of restoration!

Years ago, I read thus daily. in a 2-yr period, I read this text more than a few times. The 64 hexagrams are very insightful. Carol K Anthony has a warm translation of them that I recommend! Have since move in to devotionals and gifted more than a few copies.

Had to return it to the library before finishing it but boy was it worth it! I'm going to have to add it to my collection!

It wasn't what I needed and so I didn't complete it.
