If ever I get stuck in an elevator I want it to be with this lady.  Seriously.  And the first thing I'll do is ask her about her first-born chin and how many more food-types has she come across since she began visiting other people's houses and tell her that she really must write those other books she mentions.  Then I think we'll just chat about everyone we know and how they might become material for more books.  And probably feel very disappointed when we get rescued.  This book is a delightful journey through the lives of real people; it moves from humor and entertainment to sadness and prejudice, from amazing little coincidences to an uplifting personal philosophy.  I wonder how many other readers will look at themselves and ask "Caregiver or caretaker?"  And "How have I dealt with 'the two robbers' today?". This really is a wonderful little book; I recommend it, wholeheartedly.
