American novelist Anne Lamott, carves out a beautiful Thanksgiving prayer, thanking, primarily her parents for making her into a book-lover and writer.
Lammot's father, Kenneth Lammot was a well-known San Francisco-based travel writer who passed away in his mid-fifties.
The highlight of Anne's "prayer" is a rewriting of playwright Eugene O'Neil's observation that man is born broken; God's grace is the glue: the secondary glue that kept her parents together in their marriage were the children, but the primary "collagen" were "Books and the New Yorker."
