Description

Amy Falls DownAmy Gallup is an aging novelist and writing instructor living in Escondido, California, with her dog, Alphonse. Since recent unsettling events, she has made some progress. While she still has writer's block, she doesn't suffer from it. She's still a hermit, but she has allowed some of her class members into her life. She is no longer numb, angry, and sardonic: she is merely numb and bemused, which is as close to happy as she plans to get. Amy is calm.

Amy Gallup is an aging novelist and writing instructor living in Escondido, California, with her dog, Alphonse. Since recent unsettling events, she has made some progress. While she still has writer's block, she doesn't suffer from it. She's still a hermit, but she has allowed some of her class members into her life. She is no longer numb, angry, and sardonic: she is merely numb and bemused, which is as close to happy as she plans to get. Amy is calm.

So, when on New Year's morning she shuffles out to her backyard garden to plant a Norfolk pine, she is wholly unprepared for what happens next.

Amy falls down.

A simple accident, as a result of which something happens, and then something else, and then a number of different things, all as unpredictable as an eight-ball break. At first the changes are small, but as these small events carom off one another, Amy's life changes in ways that range from ridiculous to frightening to profound.

This most reluctant of adventurers is dragged and propelled by train, plane, and automobile through an outlandish series of antic media events on her way to becoming--to her horror--a kind of celebrity. And along the way, as the numbness begins to wear off, she comes up against something she has avoided all her life: her future.

Jincy Willett's Amy Falls Down explores, through the experience of one character, the role that accident plays in all our lives. "You turn a corner and beasts break into arias, gunfire erupts, waking a hundred families, starting a hundred different conversations. You crack your head open and three thousand miles away a stranger with Asperger's jump-starts your career."

We are all like Amy. We are all wholly unprepared for what happens next.

Also, there's a basset hound.

Perfect athletic dress!
Color: Black, Size: 9-10 Years
I ordered this athletic dress for my daughter (age 7) and we are both so impressed! The fit is true to size—she typically wears a 10 and the 9/10 fit her perfectly with a little room to grow without looking oversized. The fabric is incredibly soft and lightweight, which makes it super comfortable for all-day wear, especially during warmer weather. It’s stretchy without being clingy, and it washes beautifully—no fading or shrinking so far! What I love most is how flattering the cut is. The built-in shorts underneath give her confidence when she’s running or playing, and the overall design is sporty yet still cute enough to wear out and about. She’s already asked for another color! Highly recommend for active girls who love comfort and style!

So cute and priced well!
Color: Black, Size: 9-10 Years
These were so cute, easy to wear! Especially for parking days. Good to go wherever! My girls loved then! They were just long enough for our preference. The material is the athletic type and fairly thick! No complaints there!

Check size chart
Color: Blue, Size: 9-10 Years
The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because sizing is WAY off. I originally ordered the 7/8 for my 5 year old but it was about a size too small. I went back and ordered a 9/10 and it fits almost perfectly with a tiny bit of room to grow. Other than that, the outfits are so cute, functional and easy to clean! Perfect for the girlies who love a good romp but wanna look like a princess while doing it!
