Winter reading

Maybe it's because I've been writing about my own family, or maybe just because the genre has become so popular, but I've found myself reading a lot of memoirs.

On Living by Kerry Egan is a collection of stories about the author's experience as a hospice chaplain. It's a very fast read and surprisingly uplifting.
