Book Preview:

#1 I was not a popular child. I loved playing Robinson Crusoe in a small wooden fort my parents built in the backyard. I was always plotting adventures, and when I grew up, I decided I would be a writer.

#2 I was not a key member of the staff, but I was still required to take articles faxed over from the writers and type them into the computer system. I was in a constant state of embittered self-righteousness at the office.

#3 I was giddy when an editor at the magazine said they would publish my article and Mayita’s photos, and pay us for them. It was two thousand dollars, which was more than my monthly take-home pay. I went to the fancy salad bar at lunchtime for weeks after I got paid.

#4 I was afraid to become a mother. I feared that I would be an awful mother, and that I would be stuck in one place for 20 years playing oboe and doing math homework that I hadn’t been able to do the first time around.
