Her first novel, ''In the Language of Love'' ( 1994 ), is composed of one hundred chapters, each one based on one of the one hundred words in the Standard Word Association Test, which was used to measure Sanity . There are chapters titled "Table," "Slow," "Cabbage," and "Scissors." In her second novel, ''Our Lady of Lost and Found'' ( 2001 ), the narrator is visited by the Virgin Mary , and the two women spend a month cooking and cleaning and going shopping. QUOTE "Many people waste their lives, looking forward to that time when they will be happy, and that's part of the reason they don't notice what's going on around them. It's like when you drive the same stretch of road every day: you don't see it anymore, you don't see the scenery. It all circles back to why I focus so much on details. Maybe if we all paid a little more attention as we went along we might be more satisfied." BOOKS
