The owner of Half Moon Books, Jessica DuPont, a friend and fellow school mom, let me work at a small desk in the basement of her Kingston shop during this odd school year. She handed me a key and the bookstore became my safe haven.
I would drop my daughter off at Hudson Valley Sudbury School near Woodstock, drive to Kingston and let myself in before the bookstore opened. Downstairs, I’d walk through a maze of banker’s boxes filled with books for online purchase and write at a desk, surrounded by even more boxes of books. Some needed repair, including a tiny damaged “Pictures from Italy” by Charles Dickens.
