The Book of Lost Friends

Covering racism, ableism, women’s rights, and ultimately the interconnectedness of communities, Wingate’s newest novel is nothing other than timely.  Read along as fictional Hannie Gossett of 1875 Louisiana discovers true stories of Lost Friends from the Reconstruction era and learn why this all matters today.

Reflecting on a year of writing

I waited years to take Grub Street’s Memoir Incubator course.  It took over my life for a while, but post-graduation, I’m so grateful for the experience.

Beautiful World, Where Are You

Dear Book Club, I’m so glad we met one last time in my kitchen this past May.  Thank you for the send off party in June.  I miss you – and the beautiful world we created together – already.

I Guess I Haven’t Learned That Yet

Sometimes a book finds you at exactly the right moment.  Thank you to my sister for sending this one my way.  It turns out I’m not the only one to turn forty and suddenly wonder where she’s going in life.  Shauna Niequist’s writing may be vague in terms of certain details, but the messaging hits it right on the head.

Jimmy Fund Walk 2022

This year, my daughter and I are participating in the 2022 Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk with our dear friends whose daughter succumbed to DIPG in 2017.  Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma is the deadliest pediatric cancer, but Dr. Mariella Filbin is working to change that.  Would you consider making a donation to support her work?  Any amount helps.  Thank you for considering.
