I love reading...as this #BehindTheScenes will tell you. I am THE definition of a book dragon. My love for it was drilled into me early on.

It brought him to a comfortable position after years of struggling with a bad marriage and alcoholism. He and my grandmother (his second wife) lived in San Francisco for many years
