What I'm Reading

My youngest daughter asked me to join her book club.
I was so excited.
As a writer I love to read.
And I love to discuss with readers what writers mean
when they open their hearts to us.

This month we are reading this.
Supposedly, many African societies believe that people
are divided into three categories:
Those that are alive,
Those that are dead
and those that have departed the earth,
but are not truly dead
because someone on earth still remembers them.

Interesting concept.
The story is about a woman who is alive
and the people she knew who are dead..
Just so you know,
I'm enjoying it tremendously.
