Comfort Food

Many people find comfort in certain foods. While I also have my own comfort foods, I have always been one to head for my favorite books or movies. One of these is Persuasion by Jane Austen. I have always found a sort of hope within its pages. It follows a girl named Anne. Like most of Austen's heroines, she stands apart from her ridiculous family. However, she allowed them to persuade her to make a mistake that haunts her for years. Later, she is confronted by the one person that represents her mistake-the one who was most affected by it. She is given a second chance, but has to risk everything to set things right. This probably isn't the best description, but the story is amazing. I'm not really sure why, but I've been thinking about it more and more lately.
