You hold in your hands a collection of personal essays inspired by, and, in most instances, written originally for the purpose of bringing a little enjoyment to a girl who was considered a best friend to many. It began as an attempt to entertain this friend and cousin during her illness. The author has revised and expanded this collection for the general public, and especially for anyone who might have grown up in a somewhat religiously and ethnically homogenous subculture of America. In other words, you do not have to have played Dutch Bingo to enjoy this book, but it helps if you have.
