6/19/2023 0 Comments Crossing Paths by Susan Lewallen![]() I love Barbara Kingsolver's way of painting detailed portraits of characters to fit her compelling plots. Stones from the River (Ursula Hegi) and Snow Falling on Cedars (David Guterson) are just two among the hundreds that have done this. My very favorite books do a lot of the latter and make me fall in love with the characters. I like to think that’s what turned them into the wonderfully independent and resourceful people they are today.įiction books have let me escape unpleasant situations, kept me entertained in dull lonely times, and renewed my belief in the human spirit. My kids got most of what they needed but probably not so much of what they wanted since I often just couldn’t put my book down. ![]() But no matter how busy it was, I always found time to read fiction. Those twenty years were busy I had consuming work to do and we were also raising two boys. ![]()
