Every now and then a reader returns to you your own story. She reads with that rare passion. She honors your relationship your characters. She doesn't judge; she understands. She stays up late because you have, and because you will again.
That has happened here, and I am deeply moved. At Two Heads Together Susan writes of her response to
You Are My Only, a quiet and yet still controversial book that will always mean the world to me.
Her words mean the world.
She writes, in part, this. The rest can be found
here.
I read the stories of Sophie and Emmy, one beautiful word at a time,
savoring the words and images evoked by the poetry Beth Kephart brings
to us. Eager to turn the page but yet reluctant to let it go, I read on
into the night knowing I needed sleep. How can I turn out the light
when Emmy and Sophie yearn for what they can't have? How can I leave
them when they are trapped and alone?
