This makes me sad

This woman is on NPR right now talking about her book, Without a Map about what happened in the 60's when she was 16 and became pregnant and suffered through horrible disapproval from her entire community, including her own family and even her doctor. I can't believe she didn't go totally nuts or kill somebody.

Anyway, it sounds like she eventually made out OK but it sounds like a pretty shitty time, that's for sure.

Really?

Thanks, very nice of you.

First, check my

Amazon.com wishlist

and there's no need to worry that I already have it or won't use it.

Tip: Check around for better pricing. Amazon's pricing is usually good, but not always the best available.

A quick Froogle search can't hurt.
