LitNuts shares the “Best of the Indies” with booklovers.
From its Introduction, “On St. Patrick’s Day,” that recounts the early days of the COVID shutdown, to the final reflections on “Waiting for Morning” and finding joy again — the 50 essays in From My Button Box are as colorful and varied as treasures in a button box, reflecting our tumultuous times while looking forward to a brighter future. Judith’s message is intended to reach anyone, of any age, who searches for meaning in our messy, glorious, oh-so human everyday lives.
As a bonus, each essay is accompanied by a QR code allowing readers to listen to the original podcasts, like this one called “For Memory’s Sake”:
Robert Braile, a former book critic for The Boston Globe, says, “There’s a gracious tenacity to these essays, an elegant insistence that meaning can be found amid loss, whether of a dear husband of fifty-eight years, or of sustaining companionship during a pandemic, or of a seemingly endless future in an octogenarian’s life.”
Published by Three Chairs Publishing just in time for Bruder’s 89th birthday, From My Button Box: Collected Essays in a Pandemic Time is available at Broadside Bookshop (247 Main St, Northampton, MA), from the Three Chairs Etsy shop, and from major online retailers.
