Memories gather
These memoirs occasion amazing insights into remembered details and the mechanisms of remembering.
But That Didn't Happen to You
by Harry Marten—
I felt blessed reading this book. Not in any metaphysical woo-woo angel/heaven way. But blessed in the way of being
surprised by a yellow sunset, or of seeing a 2-year-old waddling around in a tulle skirt, or of being in the presence of
profound tenderness. Blessed. Wow.

A Slant of Light
by Galbraith Crump—
This beautiful and moving memoir is deceptively simple. It weaves together memories, scenes,
characters in a powerful warp and weft across decades.
