Contents May Have Shifted (W. W. Norton)

*Book Club with the Author, too!

The bestselling author of Cowboys Are My Weakness, Pam Houston does it again. This time the fearless narrator of her new book, Contents May Have Shifted, leaves her metaphorical baggage behind and finds her comfort zone in the air, “feeling safest with one plane ticket in her hand and another in her underwear drawer.” She flies around the world, finding reasons to love life in dozens of far-flung places from Alaska to Bhutan. Along the way she weathers unplanned losses of altitude, air pressure, and landing gear. With the help of a squad of loyal, funny, wise friends and massage therapists, she learns to sort truth from self-deception, self-involvement from self-possession. Pam Houston teaches creative writing at the University of CA, Davis, and is a frequent contributor to O: The Oprah Magazine and More. She is an utter delight in person!
