Hello ,
I received my copy of PURE GRIT from the publisher Monday. It was an amazing moment
to hold the book in my hands, see the brilliant colors of the design and feel the beautiful quality paper of the pages.
I'm humbled to see the finished book, knowing all the people who have helped make it happen. And so honored so many of you have already purchased it and are writing to tell me
what you think.
From my e-mail box...
Donna says, "Thank you for giving me an incredible group of role models
and heroes. Their stories were so well-drawn and thoughtfully portrayed that they will stay with me for years to come."
From Al, "I like the way you tell the stories, particularly your use of short, simple sentences; much like the diaries of the noble souls who wrote in small characters
on small pieces of paper when time and ink and life itself was starved of all beauty and abundance.
Yet there is a beauty in your narrative because it is the same beauty that remains when life is starved of everything: the beauty of faith and hope and charity, the beauty of courage and determination."
Somebody, hand me the tissue.
