@anniegowen @ladybirddiner @KansasUniv Annie this story is so beautifully observed and written! (And I'm glad for you, too. And I remember that class so well.)

[Mary O'Connell @OConnellCMary]

Beautiful story by @anniegowen about @ladybirddiner and Meg Heriford.

Meg is also an exceptional writer, and proceeds from her book, Ladybird, collected, will provide delicious lunches for the community. Buy the essay collection here: https://t.co/g21BezXHiy
