Looking forward to this book! My second one-woman show is called JUMPING OFF THE FRIDGE - which was one way my grandmother, born in 1901 and immigrated from Austria at 12 yrs old to the tenements of the Lower East Side, tried to abort herself. (Also throwing herself down the apartment building stairs.)She ultimately had 9 kids and would’ve had more but her oldest daughter, a rebel, took her to see Margaret Sanger for a diaphragm. My grandmother got pregnant anyway with it - twins no less! And is famous for telling Sanger, “take this thing back! Before it I was having one at a time, now I’m having two!”

That is the wildest story! And apropos of Della's novel for sure.
This sounds great. Maybe I can go on Tuesday.
Loved this int, Christine--& gotta say I admire EBR for writing TEN CLEAR DAYS, which sounds like a real-deal, must-read novel!
Thank you, MW! But that duplicate debut - not sure how I missed that - too much to do!
Also: Perhaps a sign that it's time for a schneck? (winky face)
Right?!! 🍩🍩🍩
Had a schneck-like mini donut yesterday, coincidentally!!
omg MINI-SCHNECKS. Let's invent these & invest in them & retire as zillionaires in like 6 mos!
