Miriam has written a few books now including A Boy of Good Reading, and A Complicated Kindness. She has also written some great short stories. She grew up in Southern Manitoba. Its fun to say. Try it.
1.She could read book after book to them, sing song after song, soothe them for hours, tenderly and humorously cajole them out of their tantrums, build cities and empires with them in the sandbox for an entire day and answer a million questions in a row with out ever losing her cool.
2.Where are the gods?
3.I passed a panhandler sitting under a streetlight at an intersection and he had a sign that said Need 37 Million Dollars for Trip to Space. I could get behind that. I gave him two bucks.
4.I wrote down his number on the back of a lottery ticket that had let him down months ago.
5.Why would God want the sun stopped?
6.He smiled. A beautiful, heart-stopping smile, all badly disguised tenderness and tentative joy.
7.I miss everybody.
