Award-winning author Gayle Brandeis' Self Storage (Ballantine Books, January 2007) is a novel about a woman whose habit of buying and reselling storage unit contents sets her on a path of self-discovery inspired by Walt Whitman's Song of Myself. Layered and politically resonant, it's the one to read right now!

"A novel of passion and consequence, identity and accountability. I love the narrator, her children, her wild ride, and this truly American story of getting mad and getting wise."
-- Barbara Kingsolver, author of The Poisonwood Bible
