Call & Response

The Call: Fire and Snow — Cheryl

I have not read Jack London’s “To Build a Fire” since college. I can’t remember the protagonist’s name, or even if he has a name, but I will never forget that story. In fact, it’s time to read it again.

The Response: On the Shelf — Jessica

I am not the protagonist in my own life. Or, at least that’s how I feel at times. I am sure that it is a common feeling among mothers. But I think mothers-of-many may be a little more prone to it. After all, if you only have one or two, they do grow up and become independent much sooner than we really think they do. But, when you’ve had a baby on your hip for almost seventeen years…well, things begin to look a little different.
