Maybe you know someone who needs just the right thing to read over the holidays. Maybe you want to mark a special occasion with a memorable keepsake. At times like these, there is nothing quite like a book. This week we asked authors from around the region to reflect on times when the perfect books came into their lives as gifts.
It was my first holiday season as a grown-up away from home. By myself in my apartment, back in 1971, I opened the gift from my mom: âThe Joy of Cookingâ by Irma Rombauer. My first cookbook. Its now-annotated pages are blotched and splashed with gravy and flour and cream, and falling out of the binding. I think of Mom, with love and gratitude, every time I use it.
