Living Out Loud (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780449909126)

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - Anna Quindlen, hailed by the New York Times as "America's resident sane person," offers a collection of "engaging, fresh, [and] funny" (Chicago Tribune) essays about growing up, becoming a parent, spirituality, and more.

"The lightning bugs are back. They are small right now, babies really, flying low to the ground as the lawn dissolves from green to black in the dusk. There are constellations of them outside the window; on, off, on, off. At first the little boy cannot see them; then, suddenly, he does. 'Mommy, it's magic, ' he say.

"This is why I had children; because of the lightning bugs."

The voice is Anna Quindlen's. But we know the hopes, dreams, fears, and wonder expressed in all her nonfiction, for most of us share them. Quindlen first vaulted to national attention with her "Life in the 30s" columns for The New York Times, and this wonderful collection of her early work shows why this Pulitzer Prize-winning author remains in the spotlight.
