I Heart Books
My book binge rages on:
Wow. I couldn’t put this one down, not even during yesterday's airplane descent (which meant I felt like barfing for about 40 minutes after we landed). Without a Map is a true story about a girl growing up in the 1960s who got pregnant at age 16. She was “shunned” by her community, but that word is an understatement. I recalled passages from The Diary of Anne Frank as the author talked about being confined to a house, never allowed to go outside (or even leave the bedroom if guests were visiting). It’s a sad story. And happy story. And a memoir (of course).
