Do you know about Diane McWhorter’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book on growing up in Birmingham at the dawn of the civil-rights era, Carry Me Home? I haven’t read it but know her work, and she’s a wonderful writer who who knows how to put personal experiences in a broad political context.

I’m heading to Alabama (Birmingham, not Mobile) soon; perhaps I can at least find it in the library.

I’m so happy I stumbled upon this blog. What a treasure. My daughter and I have a book club, and you’ve provided us with so many ideas. Thanks.
