gratitude
I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for the many emails and messages I receive from my readers. The things you write to me are moving, inspiring, heartbreaking – they are the reason I wrote the book. This is just a quick blog post to let you all know that I read every single one. I am way behind on getting back to everyone, inundated by other work, but please be patient as you will hear from me eventually.

I don’t have a loose girl story of my own to share but I just wanted to thank you and share some thoughts I had while reading.
I picked up your book out of curiosity and was pleasantly surprised by how I much I could relate. I used to be frustrated with my own impulsiveness and willful defiance of common sense but I couldn’t understand why I was that way. And the way you described the desire to be close to others and yet appear to push them away is an feeling not easily understood but something almost everyone experiences at some point in their lives.
I was also especially intrigued by the way you explored your memories, subliminal messages, and relationships with your family members. It was almost like you were describing my mother and sister. Sometimes I notice that I still have trouble reconciling with some of those bitter feelings about past.
It really saddens me that a lot of girls experience this kind of pain and loneliness. I know I could have easily gone down the same path as you. Your book gives hope and it inspires me join your cause and be that one good friend to those who feel like they can’t ever be loved.
Thank you for writing.
