The Little Green Grass

   I went to a book discussion today, over The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. I sat at a table with one professor and three students. I wasn't surprised that the professor, who had a background in biology, was impressed by the book and had a lot to say. I was surprised at how much the two girls had to say! They were so opinionated and had deep thoughts. I really didn't have anything great to say. I felt so young like a little green grass when it was my turn. Maybe that's why I have such a hard time giving my characters depth--they're as uncertain and unopinionated as I am!
