Abstract

Because I moved so often as a child–nine places but thirteen residences–I’m apt to say I’m not really “from” anywhere. But that’s probably not totally accurate. Though the locations changed and we often lived in multiple quarters as an Army family, it was not completely peripatetic. Instead, I had a childhood with deep roots in church, school, and library. Wherever we lived, those were my true “home” places. And though I grew up in a book-filled house, I never had my fill, so going to the library was a necessity. Each week, I’d go to the public library to get the next haul, and then, come home and place the new pile next to the yellow, over-stuffed chair in my bedroom to devour in the coming week.
