I don't remember how I found out about Frederick Buechner's latest book,
The Remarkable Ordinary.
But I ordered it online - then passed it on to a friend for a quick read, before taking it to my daughter in Guelph. I thought she'd enjoy the chapter on
Maya Angelou.
I then ordered a few more of Buechner's memoirs online.
The topic he returns to time and time again is his effort to make peace with his past. I find it fascinating...
Getting older, I've revisited childhood memories and attitudes that have held me back, and tried to make peace with them, too.
Telling Secrets was a compelling read...
(I took six pages of notes on his first chapter. I rarely do that!)
