The Light We Lost

 Jill Santopolo is the author of the fiction book called The Light We Lost. Most of the story takes place in New York City. The story starts out at Columbia University on September 11th. Two students, Gabe and Lucy meet and hear the tragic news. They decide to climb to the roof of one of the dorm rooms at the university and look south toward Manhattan. They see the toxic smoke and dust rising into the sky. For a time after graduation they are a happy couple. She helps direct a children's educational television show. He takes more photography classes. He decides to go to Iraq and take photos and their lives drift apart. Even though they are not together, they are on each other's minds daily. I enjoyed this interesting story about two intelligent people.

Quilt

This pink quilt, here on my bed in Sasebo, was made by the ladies of the church that my father attended. The ladies made it as a wedding gif...
