This book has been sitting on my office bookshelf for over a year. I hadn't really cracked it open until yesterday when a colleague told me she heard her speak at a reading here in the city recently.
'She's literally brilliant, Delia. It's been a while since someone made my brain explode.'
So on that strong recommendation I brought it home.
Oh and the colleague also told me that she is married to the ex-Mayor of Stockton, CA! They're a Sociology-Public Policy Policy Nerd Power Couple!
I love how she built the chapter headers.
Together they tell their own story.
