Thoroughly enjoyed it! It is an expanded version of a commencement address Patchett gave at her alma mater, Sarah Lawrence College. Speaks to the gathering of knowledge as being about paying attention, no matter what, no matter where. Some wonderful stories about her days as a student, including one in which, as a freshman, she showed up on the doorstep of (unbeknownst to her) the college president with a pan of unbaked cookies in search of a working oven. A tender text, one I perhaps appreciated a bit more because I work in Higher Education.

I picked up two copies of this title at a 40% sale of a bookstore that was going out of business. I will be sharing one with a recent graduate.

A wonderful quote:

"You are, every one of you, someone's favorite unfolding story."
