I listened to this engaging and beautifully told snapshot from Sharon Washington's childhood today and I was absolutely blown away! Feeding The Dragon is a perfect example of a short story told right. Washington manages to allow the listener to feel as if we get a full picture of her family dynamics and challenges during a brief moment in her life. At the end I felt both satisfied with the tale told yet wishing that I had been gifted with more. If you have not seen this Audible original yet, I highly recommend downloading it right away and experiencing this wonderful vignette of a memoir.
P.S. Ms Washington PLEASE give us a full memoir!!

“Once upon a time there was a little girl who lived in a library… From 1969 until 1973 my family lived on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. At 444 Amsterdam Avenue in an apartment on the top floor inside the St. Agnes Branch of the New York Public Library: my father George, my mother Connie; my grandmother, my dog Brownie, and me. A typical American family. Living in a not-so-typical place.”
