Oh Jeannine, thank you for this story! I've been trying to figure out which scene to pull from my memoir in progress, shape into a self-contained piece, and submit to the Amy Award. Now I know exactly which one.

Wear, Tear, Repair is such a tearjerker for anyone who ever loved a doll or a stuffed animal as a child. And for everyone who has loved a child enough to not throw away a well worn doll. This one will stick with me for awhile.

Aw, thank you so so much for sharing that feedback. This one is near and dear to me, too.
