Abstract: "This book is part memoir, part study of the shaping of a writer's voice. Using the example of her own life, Mary Gordon investigates the role that place plays in the formation of identity - the connections between where we live and who we are, between how we experience place and how we become ourselves. With wisdom, humor, and intelligence, Gordon illuminates the relationship between the physical, emotional, and intellectual architectures of our lives."--Jacket.
