Sample Book Insights:

#1 I was born on a Monday in Chicago during the Great Blizzard of 1946. My mother took in ironing while I waited on the stoop of our rooming house for the iceman to give me slivers of ice wrapped in brown paper. I would slip one in my pocket for my baby sister.

#2 I was completely smitten by the book. I loved to read, and the things I read of produced new yearnings. I wanted to go off to Africa and offer my services to Albert Schweitzer, or defend the people like Davy Crockett.

#3 I had a friend named Stephanie who was sick with leukemia. I would visit her and tell her tall tales, and she would lie back on a mound of pillows and enjoy them. I was very taken with a particular skating pin that I slipped in my mitten.

#4 I was a dreamy somnambulant child. I was always somewhere else, and I was never good enough for my teachers. I was unhappy when we were evicted from The Patch and had to start a new life in southern New Jersey.
