Query: An Arzona Consciousness

My copy of "Plaintext" is dogeared because I've reread it a lot. I've also bought copies for friends. It's honesty and directness captured me immediately. I felt I was in the company of a real person who was not afraid to talk with me about her life. The religious component is important too because Mairs tells me about her spiritual struggles, her anger and loves. Her life in the Catholic church is exposed so that we can identify with her. She deals with questions we ask too. When this book was first published, I'd read nothing like it before. I'm an ordained woman and needed to confront some of the same issues dealt with here, marriage, unfaithfulness, doubts. I also loved the Arizona setting, since I live in northern Arizona and felt close to Mairs because we had that world in common.This book is one treasure I'll never part with.Elaine Greensmith Jordan, 2008
