Description
From struggling to operate scissors as a kindergartner to playing catch-me-if-you can with a baguette in Paris, Sarah Corday's stunning debut, A Heart that Breaks and Flutters, is a compilation of literary snapshots that transition from childhood into earlyadulthood.
Beginning with an opening chapter that shocks from its first line, Corday's essays span decades and touch on themes such as sisterhood, regret, bewilderment, and finding one's place in a family of characters.
In sixteen original essays, Corday offers forthright commentary on first-grade politics, recounts her failure to embody simple Girl Scout virtues, confesses to years of "Math Unreadyness," and describes her magnetic awe toward shiny red bubble-wrap. Expertly chronicling childhood memories and mishaps, this humorous and personal collection will remind you of what it was like to be a child with a beautiful, fluttering, and breaking heart.
