Amy Dickinson, Tribune Content Agency on

Dear Amy: I appreciated your compassion toward “Well Read,” the grieving widow who was so offended when her fellow book club members confronted her over her erratic behavior.

– Concerned

 

Dear Concerned: It is tough to be on the receiving end of an intervention; I hope she can see past her hurt feelings and get help.
