.... trying to get our summer reading done. It took me forever to get through the preface, but as soon as I read the first line of chapter one, I interrupted Kae to read it to her. "It goes a long way back, some twenty years. All my life I had been looking for something, and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was.
