I am a voracious reader and every week I come across either a book, online piece or website I want to share with others. I’ve decided to curate these gems and highlight them on Friday. I hope you find these faves as insightful as I do:
- Surviving the long-term trauma of sexual violence
- A 5-year-old died from cancer, but not before preparing his own obituary
What were your favorite reads this week?
Welcome! I am a lawyer turned freelance writer, essayist, and editor. On staff at Literary Mama and the co-founder and co-editor of the literary journal, The Sunlight Press, my essays and reported work have appeared in The Washington Post, The Lily, Saveur, Civil Eats, Brain, Child, ESPN and elsewhere. I am currently at work on a memoir on grief and culture and how it provides perspective on life’s ordinary graces. I invite you to appreciate the ordinary with me. I hope my daily practice of seeing the magic in the mundane helps you celebrate and find more of these moments in your life too.
Oh my goodness that five year old. That is just too much. WOW.
Wow…great book heaven indeed. This time I did not save any to read on my list…I went ahead and read them. The only one I just couldn’t was the eulogy of a five year old. The photography awards article is just beautiful. Thanks for all these gems.
