Anna OMally is a born writergifted, perceptive, headed for the stars. Or she was, until the tragic death of her uncle Joe. He was barely older than Anna herself, and she worshipped the ground he walked on. Best of all, Anna got to live in the glow of knowing that she was the most important person in his world, too. Anna has promised everyoneher shrink, her parents, her best friendthat Joes one-year deadaversary will be the end of her period of mourning. But when a strange note suggests that her saintly uncle had deep secrets, Anna stumbles into a chain of events that changes everything she thought she knew about the past, the possibilities of love . . . and origami. Praise: Bassetts debut novel scores a hat-trick of literary merit in a strongly crafted and complex plot, deeply drawn characters with palpable grief, and beautifully woven and rich prose.

Came across this word and thought of @Litsy . @BookBabe & I appreciate this community every day. Between the friendships, the books and bookish things we find out about, the projects and events to participate in, and, most of all, realizing we're not the only hardcore bookworms on the planet anymore 😆, you all make Litsy a rare querencia for us. 😎👍🏻👍🏻 #LitsyLove

ApoptyGina69 My guess is, they were going for "tongs". Too bad they didn't take the advice, "don't do no wrongs, please use the tongs" 8y
