************************************
There was a moment when I was 13, sitting at my mother’s feet in the little library off her master bedroom. The carpet was a warm buttery beige. The late morning sun streamed in, pleasantly basking my feet and hers in our slippers as we finished digesting a yummy Sunday breakfast of cinnamon rolls, bacon and orange juice. Her second cup of tea sat steaming on the wicker side table, and she cracked open a copy of poetry from her college days.

She began reading Edgar Allen Poe’s, ‘The Raven’.
I fell in love. At 13, Literature became my first love. And it has remained my most steadfast, rewarding, surprising, supportive, exasperatingly lovely relationship. I was chilled to the bone by her reading, transported to the brittle tap, tap, tap at the window. Shivering in anticipation despite the sun, of the bird that so haunted that man…that is was coming for ME next. That poor, sad, grey-hearted man.

I think my mouth actually fell open.

I remember wondering how she did that magic.
My entire life was shifted from that point in time… to this time. I’ve debated whether or not this story needed to be told. After all, it’s silly, right? It’s just one girl, going through one job, having adventures, dealing with her own idiosyncrasies?
Then I realized I had described us all.

So here it is, my contribution to the literary world. My voice. Part truth, part fiction.

Happy Birthday, Book!
