I just finished your book, and I loved it. Although I struggled to get through the few pages where you describe John's final day, I've managed to make myself presentable to pick me kids up from school. My biggest gasp moment though? I have 3 children...Ruby, Alice and Finn. To find that you and I had chosen two of the same names really floored me for no apparent reason. You just can't buy taste like that! Thanks for sharing such a fantastic journey. Rebecca xo Hi Virginia,

It is very difficult to watch a friend go through a loss of that kind, to come face to face with life's often senseless cruelty. I hope the book remains meaningful for you as you read the rest of it. ~Virginia Hi Rebecca, thank you for reading my book and for letting me know.

I know what you mean about this "tiny master" advice, as it prompted several ideas for essays in me. Which remain unwritten, of course, due to a book-length manuscript in progress ... but I'm looking forward to writing the personal essays.
