Buttons

Produktbeschreibung

"She lay on her stomach sorting through her buttons. The sun coming through her little window lost itself in her dark hair. The empty coffee can she used for her buttons sat next to her elbow. She took off her glasses and rested her chin on her fist as she spread the pile out to one button deep. She felt the smoothness under her palm, like cool water. When they were all spread out and right side up, she saw the one that would match the others on her father's workshirt. Finding just the right button usually made her feel better, but it had been a bad day. So much to keep inside. So full. All her soda bottles were broken. By the time her Mom had gotten home from work, she was ready for her little room and sewing buttons.

Autorenporträt

Carol Greene was born and raised in Vermont, a member of a tribe of eleven. As a child, her favorite sick-abed book was a collection of Greek Mythology. A born storyteller, she began her writer's work while still a teen. She recently won an award for her New England Myth, "Corn Woman". About her choice of Author's photo, Carol explains, "This is the most honest photo ever taken of me. This dreamy-eyed girl holds my moral compass, keeps fed my sense of wonder, and is the source of all my best stories." Carol is the mother of two and believes children are Life's most unappreciated miracles.
