Anna writes:
It's my pleasure this month in Anna March's Foundlings to offer a chapter from Antonia Crane's critically acclaimed new memoir, Spent. Cheryl Strayed, author of #1 New York Times Bestseller Wild, says, "Antonia Crane's writing is bold and beautiful and shimmering with light." I couldn't agree more--about both the writing and the woman. Enjoy this chapter--and please consider buying the book. It's tremendous and you'll be supporting indie publishing and a writer who does so much in service to the literary world--and the world at large.
