Among those displaced was mystery writer Carol Higgins Clark, who has been staying at a nearby hotel while workers replace walls and do other construction. "Everyone would prefer to be home, but we'll get through it," said the writer, who is the daughter of author Mary Higgins Clark.
Funny to have a mom and daughter writing pair and the use of the same "Higgins Clark". Kind of makes me glad that I was not gifted by mom's middle name (which is Gertrude)
Another tenant's experience:
Lila said she willed herself to get out of the apartment by repeating a line from the poem "The Summer Day" by Mary Oliver: "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"
This poem is haunting me, in a weird and delightful way.
