Midwives

Surprise, nothing going on at work so I was able to finish Midwives. Wow, a very powerful story and the end actually surprised me. BUT during the actual reading of the book, I got a little over the prose...very wordy with long descriptions that my brain could actually conjur up with half the words. I also think he painted Sybil as a very one-sided, confident in her actions, hippie midwife. Only during the last chapter does he give her some complexity-doubt, fear, completely blowing up on the witness stand. It could've gone so much deeper.

What do you think Tinkerbell?

LETS START IT UP AGAIN LADIES






Hello dear friends,
Here are some memories that I am holding on to so dearly from the last month of adventure. This was an amazing trip that leaves a lump in my throat when I think of it. I cant wait to do it with all of you. Thank you all for being yourselves, for being goofy, funky, creative, happy, healthy, beautiful woman that I get to learn from and live along side. Now let's start reading something dammit!!
Next for me on the list is In the Wild and I will happy post many things about Peace like a river. One of my favorite characters is in that book---anyone can guess who it is????
deadwood--here I come, thanks
ps----who invited that trailer trash, 80's, pregnant librarian pyscho!!!????????
