A Heart that Breaks and Flutters: Essays by Sarah Corday

By Sarah Corday

From struggling to operate scissors as a kindergartner to playing catch-me-if-you can with a baguette in Paris, "A Heart that Breaks and Flutters" is a stunning debut from Chicago author and blog contributor Sarah Corday. Beginning with an opening chapter that shocks from its first line, Corday's essays span decades and touch on themes such as sisterhood, regret, bewilderment, and finding one's place in a family of characters. In sixteen original essays, Corday offers forthright commentary on first-grade politics, recounts her failure to embody simple Girl Scout virtues, confesses to years of "Math Unreadyness,"and describes her magnetic awe toward shiny red bubble-wrap. Expertly chronicling childhood memories and mishaps, this humorous and personal collection will remind you of what it was like to be a child with a beautiful, fluttering, and breaking heart.
