BOOK #49

Again, I'm not one for celeb books but I've never though of Rosanne Cash as a celebrity. To me, she's always been the fantastic singer/songwriter who happened to have a famous last name.

I've been listening to Rosanne since the early 80s. Her voice is the one I go to when things get a bit stressed in my life or I get way too nervous. She's very calming that way. And her book was too. She's been through a lot in her life - the death of her parents and step mom and stepsister all within a span of a few years, her divorce, her brain surgery. And all through that, she seems to have remained even keeled and funny.

This book is fluid - filled with grace, charm, wit, empathy, humor and steeliness. I only admire her more after reading it. Page 206 struck a large chord with me as she describes what happens after the death of a parent. I was so moved that I sent her a tweet about it and she responded in kind. She appears to be that kind of person.

Kind.
