9 1/2 narrow: my life in shoes, by Patricia Morrisroe

 

This is an amusing and intimate look into the life of journalist Patricia Morrisroe through the lens of the shoes and boots that she has loved and worn since childhood. Most chapters are named after a shoe type that punctuates that time in her life, from her early Mary Janes to Manolo Blahniks. It's a fun way to revisit some elements of American culture and life from the 1950s to the present. Ms. Morrisroe's writing is light and fun, but doesn't shy away from personal and family issues that cause her pain.
