In the titular essay (included in Best American Essays 2023) a food bank, assuaging the pandemic's terrors with gifts of food and prayers, becomes a portal for intimate confidences entrusted to us by a voice of unspoiled authenticity and perennial vigor."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Gerber, Merrill Joan. 650 0 $a Essays. 650 0 $a Life change events. 650 0 $a Suicide. 650 0 $a Marriage. 650 7 $a essays. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aat300026291. 650 7 $a suicides. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aat300069678. 650 7 $a LITERARY COLLECTIONS / Essays $2 bisacsh. 600 17 $a Gerber, Merrill Joan $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00062236. 650 7 $a Essays $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00915437. 655 7 $a Essays $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919922. 655 7 $a Essays. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 1 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240716012744.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=44CBCAE4433911EF824246BD21ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
