I wish I had followed my heart and written you a note as well. However, I figured you were going to be very busy signing books (600 is a lot!) and wouldn't have time to read it. I even truncated how I wished the book to be signed because the site asked for brevity. Result: Just my first name.

So let me say that you have been a guiding star throughout these last four years, since I found you. I appreciate your beautiful usage of words while you share the ugliest of scenarios. I suppose the biggest compliment I can pay you is that one day my husband was trying to recall your name to comment on something of yours I sent him to read. I asked, "Who are you talking about?" and he said, "The author you're always quoting." (I hope this made you chuckle.)

I read 50 books a year and subscribe to 11 periodicals and several sub-stacks. And of all the authors I admire, you're the one whose writing most often sticks with me, and whose words are most often repeated.

Also available as an ebook at the Kobo bookstore, for those who like e-readers but refuse to support amazon/kindle. (Just bought my copy there.)
