    About this ebook

     

    She stood in front of a dogwood tree, the white petals shimmering in the breeze and surrounding her like an aura. There were probably people around her, but I didn't notice. She was as uncommon and striking as the Statue of Liberty. Later, I tried to write about that moment, but could barely complete a sentence. In the instant I dropped Norton's Anthology of English Literature on the library steps and stared at her, something fundamental captured me. I am careful about words, but I think 'captured' is the right one.

      One thing you could always say for me: I was a finisher. I may not have been a great reader, but by God I was dogged, and if I made it through the opening 10th of a book, then I was going all the way to the end. Though this started as merely an incli

      There’s an idea that empathy is something you extend to another. I don’t think that’s quite right—I think it’s something that happens, usually in brief moments—maybe only the duration of a snapshot, a conversation—between people. Maybe it’s a process
