message 40: by LA (new)

LA And how worthy this incredible story is of this honor and accolade! So very happy for you - it's not just the nuance and technique and tension you built in, but all of the meticulous research that made this family seem so real. I could not have imagined my child playing with dried up bones that he found scattered outside, but you made it seem natural. Well done.

Thank you, LeAnne--very generous and so very appreciated, particularly as I wade knee-deep in the next. (confidence hissing out with every choice on the page) Thanks for making this book experience a richer one. -xo
