7:03 a.m. Carryn wakes to nurse and I want to sleep. My husband pretends not to hear her, but sometimes I wake him up just so he can see my job is twenty-four hours a day. —Jenee Guidry, 30, mom of four

8:20 a.m. I just read two Psalms aloud to Dad. In the last few months of his life he loved for me to read them to him, both in person and on the phone. I still do it, hoping they reach him in the other world. —Rosanne Cash, 49, singer/songwriter

4:00 p.m. The cast of Friends is on with Oprah. That was one of the few shows I watched every week. My real friends suck. Not a single one called me on my birthday. —Kim Olsovsky, 31, teacher

1915 There’s a boom in the distance, rocket or mortar. I am sitting next to a blast wall built from sandbags. Do I stay here? Do I go into the trailer and lie on the floor? Six minutes pass. I am about to miss dinner. —Beth Garland, 42, army sergeant]]> 59306 3.77 134 35 895666 1582701024 9781582701028 2 <![CDATA[This Day: Diaries From American Women]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179266815m/895666.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/895666.This_Day_Diaries_From_American_Women 4.11 18 59306 3.77 134 35 59304 4.11 18 2 59305 3.91 75 21
