I mentioned but didn't link to last week, about hosting two children via the Fresh Air Fund (a remarkable and upsetting piece of writing, do take a look),
can be found here; it's called "Love Lessons," and it was originally published in the Washington Post in May 2004. (Thanks to
Jennifer Weiner for the link and to
Bookslut for pointing me that way.)
Thank you for posting this. I was curious about it. "Veronica" just resonates. I talked about it at length with a friend over lunch yesterday. It begs a reread.
