A joy to read

This is such a wonderful book, full of life, emotion, and intelligence. Feraca infuses every experience, ordinary and extraordinary, with so much perception, compassion, and generosity that it's a total joy to read.

Read this Book!

Feraca writes the way Vermeer paints. Even the shadows in this memoir are luminous. Her stories are filled with a love that is not just emotional. The characters we meet (mother, father, aunt, brother, husband) are like something from Dostoyevsky, filled with passion, hilarity, trouble, and love. Feraca is a great storyteller, and a poet. She leads me to momentarily dwell with her characters' hearts and behind their eyes. When I finished reading I had a much greater appreciation for the quirky folks in my own life. Read this book!
