I just returned home following a few book events in Seattle, an NPR interview and another recorded interview for the reading library for the Blind nationally, to find your wonderful review in my mailbox! I think it is the greatest compliment to a writer to have such a careful reader and critic. In every way I feel you “got” the story, celebrated the threads of hope and life enthusiasm that I wove within to leaven what might otherwise be” just too sad a story.” I wanted readers to live more richly, more deeply, better if you will….to remember life is finite and “seize the day.” I particularly love that you ended your review with Ken’s note, as I ended the story….isn’t that really what we yearn for in this life, but a partner who will walk with us, through it all.

You made my day,
Glenda
