Tales From the Scale!
It's out! My good friend Erin's book, Tales From the Scale is in bookstores now! I know this because I found it at Barnes & Noble Friday night and rearranged their stash so that it would be placed more prominently on the shelf.
IT'S OUT!
I'm so happy for Erin, not just because she got a book published, but because she got a GOOD book published. She gave me a copy to read a few months ago when we got together with Jessamyn to go see Anne Lamott talk, and I've already started re-reading it.
The stories contained inside are funny, smart, and true. I identified with everyone who contributed to this book, but it is Erin's story that touched me the most. Erin showed me that losing weight slowly is best, that not taking it too seriously makes it fun, that doing it as part of a gradual life change is smart. Reading her for the past three years has been inspiring. Knowing her and talking to her in person has been even better. Erin is a wonderful friend, and I'm so glad she's part of my life. Love!

Shrieked with laughter that you re-arranged the display---I do that too and thought i was the only one----just goes to show that we never really are 'the only one' are we. There's always someone equally as determined...anyway, I will go look for this book and when I find it, if the display isn't stand-out-ish enough, I will handle it! And leave a note: "Amy's friend, Erin, wrote this and Amy thinks you should read it. Because it's great." on a little yellow index card as they do with personal reviews in the movie store.
