This is a fantabulous book that I keep on my coffee table; I haven't read it all, yet--but I'm savoring it all. As a teacher (and I consider this to be a "helping profession"), I've always needed help establishing boundaries between work and play.

Amazing story of trauma--and survival.

This is like Mardi Gras for the brain and heart. Damn, I love this author. He's like David Sedaris with a peppermint. Seriously, he's sweet, witty, and...gawd, so adorable.

Sending my love out to all you bibliophiles!
