    The Bone Bridge

    in Memoirs

    · The Bone Bridge by Yarrott Benz. (ff). Anne Boster recommended this book to me saying, “You know, Marge, he can write.” I knew Yarrott as a colleague, but I didn’t really know him at all until I read this book. As a young teen in Kentucky, Yarrott is the only person who can save the life of his brother Charley, who requires transfusions from a perfect match. The story of the young man Yarrott was, so at odds with the conservative Kentucky environment he grew up in, is further complicated by his surrender of freedom for a brother with whom he shares little more than a similar blood type. Yarrott shows who he is on such an intimate level that he inspired me to try my own hand at memoir writing. (Thank you, Yarrott.)
