Powerful, painful, thoughtful work from @clsmith321. The lies resonated with me. For a decade after my dad died, I let people think he was alive. No adult asking, "what about your dad?" wants to be met with, "he's dead and it's destroyed us." I wasn't ready to face it, either.

Thanks so much, Karen. I’d already read this but it deserves a second (and third and fourth) read. So many lines that took my breathe away here. Carol Smith’s @clsmith321 new book, Crossing the River: Seven Stories That Saved My Life, may just be my new favorite book.
