The Rabbit Room

I have asthmatic bronchitis and am on extreme steroids, which will consequently suppress my immune system. I have been told by my doctor to not leave my house for three weeks or allow anyone over.
I am also a teacher very worried about my students. Today my sons and I listened to Jennifer Trafton read Henry and the Chalk Dragon. Then we…[Read more]

A friend just recommended this book to me a few weeks ago and I read it.  It was lovely.

For years I had called myself “unloved” as I dealt with depression and illness alone.  Then one day I was looking through a book of names in a used store and looked up the meaning of my name.  I had to sit down when I read “Sheri means Beloved.”  My name was almost Sara after my grandmother.  But right before I was born, my father just ran…[Read more]
