Miller offers the evidence of a way through foster care - by reading books and telling stories about the events of one's life as they occur, by reframing one's stories and putting them in the context of the great children's stories, the Grimm Brothers Tales. Despite pain and anguish of parental neglect and mental illness, despite the unending number of homes and families Miller was asked to "fit" into, Miller chronicles what saved her, what brought her - not quite uns ...

Your personal identity describes who you are, who you aspire to be, or who people perceive you to be.

Deer. Bears. Boo-Boos. And a big brown dawg. Fifty years after the original manuscript was typed, this memoir of life in the old Oneida Post Office in Washington state finally comes to light, with all the humor, zest for life and love of animals that Arlie Fauver brought with her to Oneida in the early 1950s. “Who in the hell would buy that place?” was Arlie’s first reaction to the ramshackle old building that would later become her family’s home – a home full of fun, friends and laughter; heartache, loss and trouble; and critters of all descriptions.
