I just finished reading this truly wonderful memoir by Abigail Thomas. Her honesty and openess make this one of my favorite memoirs. Annie Lamott’s Operating Instructions was also straight to the heart. When people are able to be so real and transparent about themselves, they allow us to accept ourselves at a deeper level. Reading these pages opened my heart to the struggles that all of us have to endure. Life may not be easy, but is sure is magical. And having 3 dogs (2 in my case) always helps.
