My Ruby Slippers: The Road Back to KansasSure, there's no place like home but what if you can't really pinpoint where home is? By the time she was nine, Tracy Seeley had lived in seven towns and thirteen different houses. Her father's dreams of movie stardom, stoked by a series of affairs, kept the family on edge, and on the move, until he up and left. Thirty years later, settled in what seems like a charmed life in San Francisco, a diagnosis of cancer and the betrayal of a lover shake

Sure, there's no place like home--but what if you can't really pinpoint where home is? By the time she was nine, Tracy Seeley had lived in seven towns and thirteen different houses. Her father's dreams of movie stardom, stoked by a series of affairs, kept the family on edge, and on the move, until he up and left. Thirty years later, settled in what seems like a charmed life in San Francisco, a diagnosis of cancer and the betrayal of a lover shake Seeley to her roots--roots she is suddenly determined to search out. My Ruby Slippers tells the story of that search, the tale of a woman with an impassioned if vague sense of mission: to find the meaning of home.

Seeley finds herself in a Kansas that defies memory, a place far more complex and elusive than the sum of its cultural myths. On back roads and in her many back years, Seeley also finds unexpected forgiveness for her errant father, and, in the face of mortality, a sense of what it means to be rooted in place, to dwell deeply in the only life we have.

Fluffy, Supportive, and Perfect for a Great Night’s Sleep
Team Name: Pack of 2, Size: Queen - 20" x 30", Color: White
I purchased the Premium Queen Size Pillow set of two on a flash deal, and I’m so glad I did! These pillows have the perfect balance of softness, thickness, and firmness. At about nine inches thick when fluffed, they easily compress down to about three inches, thanks to the down alternative fill. This makes them incredibly supportive without pushing my neck up too high. The down alternative filling gives just the right amount of “nestle,” letting my head and neck sink in comfortably, which has improved my sleep quality tremendously. They’re fluffy yet still provide that soft firm support I love. Another big plus is washability. I can toss them in the wash, and they come out looking and feeling like new. For a 2-pack, they’re a fantastic value for money, and I would purchase them again.

Premium Pillows
Team Name: Pack of 2, Size: Queen - 20" x 30", Color: White
Purchase these as a gift for1 of my children that had terrible pillows. To say she was pleased would be an understatement. She said that these were some of the softest and most comfortable pillows she had ever used. They remained puffy while conforming comfortably to her sleep style. She was absolutely in love and I would definitely purchase again.

These pillows are quite stiffer than i expected but i guess that means they keep their shape.

This is my third time purchasing these nice and comfortable pillows
Team Name: Pack of 2, Size: Queen - 20" x 30", Color: White, Team Name: Pack of 2, Size: Queen - 20" x 30", Color: White
This will be my third time purchasing these pillows. I and my many guests that have had the opportunity to be able to use these pillows in my guest room have spoke of the wonderful and comfortable they were sleeping with them. And they seem to hold up well and are structured nicely as not to lose there stitching in there construction. I am very please and feel the cost is quite reasonable to store pillows in there purchase price category. Kind regards, J Slade
