Stories I Tell Strangers: Personal Essays - Hardcover

by Leigh Feather (Author)

This is a collection of personal stories from the childhood memories of a girl growing up in Washington, DC, in the 1970s and 1980s. Like many of her generation, she was a product of divorced parents and was basically raised on neglect and hose water. Through rich, descriptive language, she describes her effort to figure out life on her own. These nostalgic, often relatable tales of road trips, detours, and mishaps evoke a time and place that has mostly disappeared.
