So happy to see this wonderful story. And to see Grace Paley "revived" with a new collection. We need her calm, incisive, humorous, chiding voice in these dark times.

My daughter, 32, read this entire story to me from her Kindle last night, removing her mask to do so, near her apt in DC. Her father and I were married for 27 years. We met Grace in VT where we live. Her voice and wisdom, her activism which is love in action, for trees and people is absolutely vital. She's right. Life is short but art is long.
