    Read it, liked the book so much I went out and bought the video about her that's mentioned in the book. Should have stopped with the book. If after reading the book you want the video let me know and I'll give it to you.

    a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

    I liked the book too, an unconventional portrait of commitment. I found it subtle and sweet and surprising.

    Read the book, I liked it. Every now and then I refer to a passage.
