We've Got Issues

My Holy Week reading was meant to be finishing my re-read of The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. Lewis can be very powerful during Lent for me, especially when I re-read every couple of years my favorite, "Till We Have Faces. So imagine my surprise when We've Got Issues: Children and Parents in the Age of Medication by NY Times reporter Judith Warner, arrived from the library. I started to page through it, then couldn't put it down and spent my Holy Week late nights reading it and having a dramatic spiritual and emotional reaction to it. I still haven't finished The Screwtape Letters, but I'm sure this was meant to be my Lenten reading.

I don't think I am able to write about it, but let me just say, "What she said." I was her at the beginning of this book, in the middle and at the end of the book. An honest and complicated book, deserving of the issues she tackles.
