I read this book at the right time…it felt topical. I learned that you can use a tuna can as a candle.

In this small gem, the narrator, librarian Lizzie Benson, tells anecdotes from her life, her marriage, her motherhood, and from those who seek her advice. While the book leans towards discussions of dread of the future, the charm of the narrator leaves a larger impression. When asked if she has any survival skills, Lizzie responds, ““People think I’m funny, I know how to tell a story in a brisk, winning way.”
