Wow a powerful message, Joan. You are brave to march, and it does make a difference. The outcome has got to be favourable, in the end. It’s so tough reading the news; I can barely stand it. It’s good to remember, it’s not everything, everywhere, all at once. The time I’m spending in bookstores, signing my book, is so uplifting: kind, generous people who are polite and friendly! It is helping immensely to restore my confidence in the future. I loved Dust Child! Such a great book! Thanks for all you do!

So glad you know Dust Child! Another of her books, The Mountains Sing, is on my TBR list. So many good books to read! And how awesome that you're hearing such great response to your book. It's well-earned!

A wonderful read, Joan--and the Hawkins quote is worth remembering. I feel like I should keep in my pocket.

Thanks, Joan--the sense of community is so important in times like this, isn't it? One reason the numbers of people on the streets keep growing. And everything in your newsletter was worth lingering over. Thanks.

I needed this today. Thanks for the reminder! Sometimes the rhetoric makes you feel like you’re the only one, but this weekend confirmed that we are a team. A country. A democracy. 💜
