    “The Gifts of Imperfection” isn’t a painful read for your typical Red Blooded American Male.

      Hi Denise:

      I have not actually read the book but the author did send me an advanced reader autographed copy of it. I believe it is now for sale. It is a fiction book.

      I borrowed a copy of our April pick so I’ll start reading tonight or tomorrow. What would you think about having a discussion among the four of us (G-J, Jane and Billy) on the talk show? We could pick a day and time that works for all of you (if you’re up for it). I think it would be fun to hear what you guys think of it.
