Happy #BookBDay, @MerHallBooks! WITHOUT A MAP, her national best-selling memoir about banishment, reconciliation, and the meaning of family, is “an unusually powerful coming-of-age memoir.”—@KirkusReviews, ⭐Starred Review buff.ly/3TP1EWk

Some days, I like to take a closer look at the books on the shelf. Today'svmuch-read favorite: @MerHallBooks Meredith Hall's memoir "Without a Map." (2007). Heart-breaking, anger-making—set in pre-Roe NH. Are the bad old days really back? Dunno. But this? Is a beautiful book.

Late to this gorgeous novel by ⁦@MerHallBooks⁩ which came out mid-pandemic. Even so, I’m shocked it was passed over by ⁦@nytimesbooks⁩. Blurbs from ⁦@danijshapiro⁩ and Richard Ford! Her memoir next on my list.

Just finished Beneficence in time to join @MerHallBooks for the Facebook live discussion hosted by the San Diego Writers Festival. I did have to wipe away the tears. What an achingly beautiful book about imperfect people coping with unimaginable grief.

Still and always unpacking the eternal book boxes, and discovering so many "already read it, determined to read it again because it's great" books. Today's find: @MerHallBooks Meredith Hall's deceptively quiet memoir, Without a Map. Highly recommend. aroomofherownfoundation.org/…
