When
Books Have a Story to Tell
by Kristy Cambron
I remember the
day my parents bought me my first art history book.
That was in fourth grade– many, many years ago. And
today, it holds an important spot on the favorites bookshelf of this
thirty-something wife, author, and momma of three.
I still have the very first copy of Pride and Prejudice (and Jane Austen book
period) that I’d ever read. My high school Bible is tucked away – no longer in
use because the spine is falling apart. It’s marked up, inscribed with dates
and prayers in the margins, chronicling my first decade as a believer. And around
my home office as I write this? You’ll find copies of Elie Wiesel’s Night stashed here and there. A stack of
Dr. Seuss books occupies a toy basket in the corner. Art history books are
shelved in a rainbow of spine colors. And eighteen copies of Jane Eyre are within arm’s reach of my
desk.
