Barbara Kingsolver


Notes:

I love Barbara Kingsolver. She is honest, compassionate and wise. This book of essays let you into her life and her loves. I wish I had was eloquent enough to put my thoughts to paper as she has.

I love nonfiction books that are compelling and funny. I laughed. I cringed. What will I choose to do with my body? Who wants a necklace full of my ashes?
