In the Fullness of Time
My closest friends have described my third book as "luminous," "immediate and intimate; I feel like you're whispering into my ear," and "so good it makes you mad." If I had to use just one word to describe this book it would be nostalgic. But if you'd permit me to use more I would say that it is tender—it is soft and subtle and most of all, hopeful. I've written stories about the house I grew up in and my parents divorce—of the jacaranda tree in our back yard and my grandmother's wedding ring. I've written about being a single mom and watching my baby grow. I've written spells, of course, little reminders of our cosmic roots to keep us going.And I've written, as well, letters to two people I have loved—letters of forgiveness and acceptance and finality. I don't know what else to say about the book other than I hope it takes you where you need to go, when you need to. I hope if you’re feeling tender or tired or in need of something warm or something familiar these words will embrace you
