"Awash with the smell of dust and dreams." Good god, what a line, what a contrast to the hellscape of sog everywhere else that you describe so vividly. I'm so moved by those women ... by librarians period ... who see the kids that they themselves were. No words necessary except the ones in books. Incredibly rendered as always Janey. Thank you.
Another beautiful home-cooked essay Jane. Love!
Thank you so much Shannon!
