Method of Disposal: Leaving at Joe's in EAV
I went to Iowa last year to visit my Stepmother's family. I finally got to spend a substantial amount of time with her mom, dad, and sister. I also got to see the school I have always wanted to attend for creative writing and explore Iowa City. My brother and his family came over from Colorado, and it was all around a great experience.
There is an amazing bookstore in Iowa City called Prairie lights, and I might have gone a little wild there. I was in love with it the second I walked in and the love just grew as I walked about. I saw a posting for my college professor who I love and deeply respect, Amber Dermont. She was teaching some summer writing classes and had given a reading at that bookstore. I saw postcards made by children to raise money for a youth writing program. There were so many literary journals!
My Stepmother's mom bought me this book on one of our last days in the city. She bought it at a library sale, and it is one of her personal favorites. She is an avid reader too. I finally read it and, while it is not one of my favorites, it does grip your attention. It may not be believable, but it is intense, and I cherish it as a gift from my family.
