I knew her in real life. Haven't seen or talked to Sharon for more than 30 years. I remembered her name and that she had hoped to write a Great American Novel, and looked her up. I am so glad you enjoyed it! You and I both like stories that are on the edge of magical realism. I like when they go all in, too.

I've recommended this one to a lot of people, but you're the first to have read it. I should have known you would be!

What is going on in your life? I'm busy in my tiny garden, and learning homeopathy, which has turned out to be wonderful. It's a whole new medical world. Love it!
