Barbara Claypole White:
Mrs. Claypole White if you are reading this, know that you touched my life. Know that your writing helped me through a particularly tough time recently. Your words were like a safe warm place for me to be and in that place, I found hope. I am guessing that you are a gardener as well as a gifted writer? This book was full of details about flowers. Loved that!
Barbara Claypole White
Melissa--you have no idea what your words mean to me. Writing has always been my therapy and my escape--gardening too. As the mother of a brilliant young man who has battled OCD for most of his life, I'm constantly trying to find hope--what I call light through the trees. I am so grateful you took the time to reach out. Hugs.

Barbara Claypole White:
Have you ever considered writing a book about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder with intrusive thoughts? My 21 year old daughter suffers from this and there is not enough informative education about this. Like you, I am the mother of a very talented daughter with OCD and I want to find a voice for her suffering and would look forward to any input or suggestions.
