I loved this quirky book. A random library find, I took it with me today and ended up starting & finishing it. Not only is it not a long book, it's a short read. The author gives short narrative stories on parts of her life ranging from childhood to adulthood, her relationship with her mother, with her therapists, and with her healers.

The author hooked me right away with her descriptions on time. From the first line, "Events in time are not -- boom -- over. they have tentacles, and they wrap around, and they swish back and forth, and they sink and swim."

I found the writings to be interesting, thought provoking, and often humourous.
