Summary: Some wonderful perspectives
Comment: Every submission isn't the most interesting thing in the world -- but there were a few things I've read that have absolutely changed certain behavior in me for the best. This is why people read things like this anyway -- to affect behavior. I've read so many books over the years. This is one to keep -- and to find the particular sentences that makes you reflect and ponder.

Summary: A thoughtful and thought-provoking collection
Comment: Why We Stay Together is a collection of essays and poetry and fiction about the critical moments--turning points--in a marriage. The pieces vary in style and genre, but they are all thoughtful, honest explorations of the travails and rewards of marriage--without sugar coating. Highlights are John Bayley's haunting excerpt from Elegy for Irish, Louis Auchincloss's "Anniversary," and Cheryl Jarvis's piece about her experiment with a "marriage sabbatical" -- a break from being a wife & mother. A few of the pieces are over-exposed and predictable selections (O. Henry's "Gift of the Magi"), but overall it's a carefully chosen anthology, fun-to-read anthology.
