I just finished reading this last night, and it was... well.. painful. The writing is so real, I felt like an Afghanistani woman. Women all over the world are powerful survivors. Before I closed my eyes, I leaned over to Dougs warm sleeping body, and just held him. We live thousands of dollars below the poverty level, and we don't have too much to call our own, but we have freedom, a powerful future, love and each other. It seems like an awful lot right now.

I am somewhat anxious to read that. That is when I get back into the habbit of reading. Thanks.

That sounds like a very powerful book. I haven't read blogs in a while so I loved all of your updates! It sounds like you making great memories at your house. I talked to Meisha and she has time on the 19th to have a get together before she moves to Texas at the end of the month. Does that work for you guys? Let me know!
