I am always fascinated by the fish out of water stories since I was one so often as a kid that I find the concept utterly terrifying as an adult.Masked Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197019009052401812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12581247.post-49095619307559542662012-05-11T14:01:05.300-04:002012-05-11T14:01:05.300-04:00I feel your pain.

But I've read the <i>Patron Saint</i> one and <i>Run</i> as well as the non-fiction one about her friendship with Lucy Grealy, <i>Truth and Beauty</i>. This is my favorite so far.Masked Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197019009052401812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12581247.post-42298502417568958552012-05-11T13:54:26.661-04:002012-05-11T13:54:26.661-04:00Thanks, guys.
