Amy Dickinson, Strangers Tend To Tell Me Things

Dickinsons Ask Amy replaced Ask Ann Landers in 2003, and now the syndicated column appears in more than 150 publications. Picking up where The Mighty Queens of Freeville left off, Dickinsons second memoir recounts the experiences that have made her such a successful advice columnist. With her signature humor and high spirits, Dickinson tells stories of her home town and her closeknit family, which was bound by both love and eating disorders. She also talks about finding romance in middle age, becoming a stepparent, and losing her own mother, treating each as a rite of passage in which she discovered new things about herself.
