strong, poignant stories, Sep 25 2011
By Denise "Du" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: She's Shameless: Women write about growing up, rocking out and fighting back (Paperback)
I bought this book because my friend, Karma Waltonen, contributed a lovely chapter to the book, but I'm glad I bought it. These creative nonfiction stories are often touching, often funny, and always meaningful.
