my mother just finished read the almost moon by alice sebold (author of the lovely bones) for her book group this month and passed it on to me.
i can't wait to start reading it based on this excerpt alone...
"So much in life is about almost, not quites." "Like the moon," Helen had responded. "The whole moon is always there in front of us, although we cannot always see it in its entirety. Except on those nights when it is full, we can do no more than almost see it. So it is with Life. Our life and the lives of those around us are always there in front of us; however, we seldom see the fullness of Life. We almost see it, then it is gone."
