And You Don't Want to Miss...
by Kristen Baumgardner Caven
"You know that thing? That special quality that literature brings to making a point? The thing that distinguishes good narrative from essay? Sometimes it makes sense just to come out and say it, make the point; but it's so much more delicious when a writer can take you for the ride and you can see it coming and absorb it in context. That's when sincerity meets reason and defines poignant. Now stir in some self-deprecating humor, leave out the purple prose, and illustrate with love. This special greatness that Kristen Baumgardner Caven brings to her work makes it precious, quirky, and cute - but without ever sacrificing meaning. Would Plato have used graphics if he'd had some decent software? I kinda think so."Get it now! $13.99
