It’s my book’s birthday! 📚✨ It’s hard to believe, but it’s the one-year anniversary of my novel, “Our Mother, Your Friend.” What an incredible journey it has been! I’m deeply grateful to everyone who has supported my writing. ❤️

📚 BOOK HAUL 📚

I bought 22 books on a trip to Vermont and Massachusetts — all at small, independent bookstores. It was wonderful to support small businesses AND add rare used books to my bookcase. I have some books to read.
