Anne's Book Recommendations
Bright Shiny Morning
This chronicle of Los Angeles and the dramatic stories of the characters who are drawn there, is told in Frey's raw writing style. Just released in paperback. I'm happy to see that Oprah recently apologized for maligning him on her show. He has a remarkable talent.
Faith and Will
Come to The Grove to buy your copy of Julia Cameron's most inward-leaning book to date: Faith and Will, a heartbreakingly honest and insightful glimpse into one woman's struggle to reconnect to her faith and her realization that having faith, of necessity, means relinquishing will.
