Every winter, as a way to balance the scales of shopping, lights, 7 foot trees, things to do, and what not to do, I dive deep in a new book. It’s a habit I began a few years ago, when dealing with the come-down after Christmas and the kids usually being with their grandparents, coupled with an intentional seasonal work hiatus of my very own. The time between Christmas and the new year seemed to offer the perfect opportunity to devour something I’ve had on my nightstand for way too long.
