		<description><![CDATA[I hope the reader would finish the book with the belief that although our past may be gone through the passage of time, it has left an indelible mark, a branding on all of us. And we should not dismiss it even when it's painful or troubling; we should embrace it, use it to our advantage, and savor it until it becomes a memory that can be used as fuel to move us along in our lives. My mother always used to say, "It's not what happens to you, it is how you deal with what happens to you." I think that message comes through in Accidental Lessons. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Funderburg went on to read a passage from her recently published memoir, which I have not yet had an opportunity to read, called "Pig Candy: Taking My Father South, Taking My Father Home: A Memoir." It's about discovering her relationship with her father while he was dying of cancer. The passage was rich in imagery, full of kindness and conveying the same sparkle in her words as danced in her eyes. At the end, I raised my hand and asked, "How did you find your voice?" She hesitated for a moment, and said, "Finding my voice was really a very long journey around a big circle until I finally came back to just being myself."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For me, the best way to recollect the details of past events is to submerge myself in sensory imagery. For example, say I want to write about a birthday party in sixth grade.  Maybe I remember some broad brushstrokes of the party but can't recall as many details as I'd like.  In order to do so, I begin by asking myself the following: what did the birthday party sound like, taste like, feel like, look like, smell like?]]></description>
