Description

Safekeeping: Some True Stories from a LifeA beautifully crafted and inviting account of one woman's life, Safekeeping offers a sublimely different kind of autobiography. Setting aside a straightforward narrative in favor of brief passages of vivid prose, Abigail Thomas revisits the pivotal moments and the tiny incidents that have shaped her life: pregnancy at 18; single motherhood (of three ) by the age of 26; the joys and frustrations of three marriages; and the death of her second husband,

A beautifully crafted and inviting account of one woman's life, Safekeeping offers a sublimely different kind of autobiography. Setting aside a straightforward narrative in favor of brief passages of vivid prose, Abigail Thomas revisits the pivotal moments and the tiny incidents that have shaped her life: pregnancy at 18; single motherhood (of three ) by the age of 26; the joys and frustrations of three marriages; and the death of her second husband, who was her best friend. The stories made of these incidents are startling in their clarity and reassuring in their wisdom.

This is a book in which silence speaks as eloquently as what is revealed. Openhearted and effortlessly funny, these brilliantly selected glimpses of the arc of a life are, in an age of excessive confession and recrimination, a welcome tonic.

Cute, Well Done, Much Better Than I Presumed
Format: Paperback
I am not the target for this book. I'm a 48 year old man (wow, that hits harder when you type it...) But you know what? This is really good! It's a quick read, the whole story is VERY comic book superhero origin (which... I mean... it should be, that's what it is!) We have a young lady who is in the foster system, so needless to say she's always suspect of everyone and everything. When she finds a new set of foster parents, her curiosity about her foster mother gets the best of her. What she finds? Paints that give super powers! Wacky hijinks ensue.. until the military wants the paint back. Then it's less wacky. But it's adorable! The art is great for the material, the coloring is amazing, and the story is surprisingly cute. It's genuinely good! My 9-year old daughter, who IS the target audience, loved it too, and getting her to read anything is like pulling teeth, so if she likes it, it must be good!

Great book!
Format: Paperback
My daughter is 8 years old and loves reading graphic novels. I came across this one and wasn’t sure if it would be for her age but figured we would give it a try. So glad I ordered it! She read it so fast and it quickly became one of her favorites! I have the second book in my cart now.
