“The Moment” on Salon.com
“For many of us, there’s a single moment in our life when it all changed. For Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of “Eat, Pray, Love,” it was the moment when, as a baby, she overheard her parents talking and realized she wasn’t the center of the world. For Richard Ferguson, it was when his beloved dog was run over by a truck. … These stories are all part a beautifully written, moving new collection of essays edited by Larry Smith, the founder of Smith Magazine, about the instance when a person’s life takes a new path.”
