|Remembering Louise Van Meter Elementary
Written by Drusilla on March 18th, 2013
I’m becoming a cliché, one of those women of a certain age who go around marveling at how fast time moves and how they couldn’t believe when their kids played soccer that they wouldn’t be carpooling for the rest of their lives.

Book Review: Schroder by Amity Gaige
Written by Drusilla on March 4th, 2013
SCHRODER by Amity Gaige is about a man who kidnaps his daughter for six days and takes her on a road trip that covers a thousand miles of beautifully described New England countryside and encounters with a number of colorful characters. Along the way he learns that love is neither a reason nor an excuse and that no matter where or how he hides, a man cannot outrun himself. Written as a letter from prison, the narrator’s voice is strong and compelling, sometimes funny and often philosophical.
