So Here's The Thing...

Den is finally on his way home...he left here early Monday morning and will be home this afternoon. He was in Iowa while the caucus was raging...he drove through Minnesota while a blizzard was raging and he is going in to the office tomorrow where I don't think anything is raging. I have cleaned, done laundry, read, walked up our long driveway to get mail and trash in the freezing rain every day...colored, organized, cleaned out the freezer, read, played with kitties, binge watched TV...and read.

I am still thinking about this book...there is a website of Hindenburg passengers run by a man called Patrick Russell...the author mentions his work in the back of her book. It was totally fascinating to see actual photos of the real people compared to how I had pictured them in my head. And I somehow thought that Emilie The Stewardess was a fictionalized character but she was real, too! If you read this book you have to check out Patrick Russell's site. The chef, the cabin boy, the rich American Margaret Mather...and even Emilie and Max were not how I pictured them.

Reading this...this book is harsh and sad and tragic...Cece is broken. Her family is broken...her brother's soccer career, injury and his resulting pain killer addiction has ruined everything in her life. Everyone has been at the mercy of her brother until Cece takes matters into her own hands.

Up next...a newly single mom...her missing 8 year old daughter...the story is told by both of them...it's all about what happens when the thing you fear the most actually happens...

That's it for me!

Patty
