Minutes later I was able to tuck what remained of my brain back between my ears and sit up. The Giving Tree. My Sweet Audrina. Lafcadio. Petals in the Wind. The Missing Piece. If There Be Thorns. Falling Up. Seeds of Yesterday. Where the Sidewalk Ends. Garden of Shadows. The Light in the Attic. Shel Silverstein wrote 'em all.
