Living Out Loud

"The Lightning Bugs are Back. They are small right now, babies really, flying low to the ground as the lawn dissolves from green to black in the dusk. There are constellations of them outside the window; on, off, on, off. At first the little boy cannot see them; then, suddenly, he does. 'Mommy, it's magic,' he says. "This is why I had children; because of the lightning bugs." The voice is Anna Quindlen's. But we know the hopes, dreams, fears, and wonder expressed in all her columns, for most of us shared them. When Quindlen wrote "Life in the 30s" she vaulted to national attention-and this wonderful collection shows why.Quindlen, Anna is the author of 'Living Out Loud' with ISBN 9780449909126 and ISBN 0449909123.
