While doing some serious blog surfing this summer I stumbled upon a recommendation for a book by Po Bronson called Why Do I Love These People?: Honest and Amazing Stories of Real Families. I struggle spending money on books, but something about it captivated me and I had it ordered in minutes. A $4 (with shipping) Amazon buy, I might add. While I didn't know exactly what I was hoping for in this book, it was exactly what I needed. People sharing their heartbreaking stories and all of the emotions that we never seem to talk about. It was healing and inspiring, opening the door to possibilities for my own relationships.
My only critique is that Bronson sometimes wraps the message up in a pretty little bow for us, you know, like overstating. Having been chastised for doing the same thing in my writing classes, I prefer everything to be understated.
There are a few more Bronson books that I'm hoping to get my hands on:
What book do you recommend?
