...Fifteen pages to go to finish The Strega's Story (plus three recipes). Unfortunately (or fortunately), it's one of the most pivotal chapters of the book, so it might take me longer than Spring Break--but you never know. It can't be any harder, though, than what it took to write the rest of it. Oddly, the recipes are some of the hardest things to write--I don't know why.
Something very nice happened around the book, too--one of my thesis directors asked for a copy so her mother could read it. I gave her a copy of my bound thesis, with apologies that the current version of the book is much better, far more cohesive in storyline, etc--but apparently it didn't matter.
The mom--an elderly Italian woman--raved over it, saying, "This is EXACTLY how we lived! This is exactly what we did!"--which made me so happy to hear.
Well, here goes....
