Peter is being bashful about it, but his wonderful memoir-essay, "Postcards to Myself," is the first piece in Only Child: Writers on the Singular Joys and Solitary Sorrows of Growing Up Solo, edited by Deborah Siegel and Daphne Uviller, and coming out from Crown in late December. An excerpt of his essay is available on the Random House website: Peter Terzian, "Postcards to Myself". (To read the denouement, however, you have to pre-order a copy and wait for Christmas.)
