I am not the woman I was

Austin writer Frances Nail may or may not be the woman she was, but her fans know that the woman she is now can tell stories that are hilarious, touching, insightful--always memorable. In her third book of essays, she ponders the universal predicaments of life and death, and with gracious reflection considers the last words of the dearly departed, the foreshadowing of perfect days, and the effects of such tragedie as the Kennedy assassination and September 11.
