Books I Love

Books have been both a shelter and a spring-board for me at different times. I remember reading Jane Eyre as a teenager and feeling like I'd found a kindred soul, just as I had years ago in Anne Shirley, another childhood heroine of mine. They have been my friends when I had none and the guide to both my interior life and the path I need to follow. Here are a few of my favorite books. What are yours?
