Welcome to Shirley: a Memoir from an Atomic Town
I wanted to like this book more than I did. It was given to me by a nice editor from the Public Affairs publishing house, and the other book she gave me from there, This Common Secret: My Journey as an Abortion Doctor rocked my world really hard. Since reading it I've often consider giving up the glamour of librarianship for life as a baby killer. (It pays okay, but the people trying to murder you gets wearing after a while, from what I understand.)
I bet you know where I'm going with this. Welcome to Shirley, perhaps because my expectations were high, was just okay...
