OMG Charlotte - You have made my day! Thank you for this kind and encouraging review and for all your support. These past few months have been a black hole for me and I cannot tell you how much your words mean to me.

I'm so honored. I have read and love all your books. My favorites are Safekeeping and A Three Dog Life. I especially love your voice, the way you handle chronology and your sister's quips :-)

Thank you. Without my sister, there would probably be a much lesser book.She asked me hard questions I would rather have ducked, but I had to answer them.,she held my feet to the fire. Thank you for liking Safekeeping, and my sister's part in it. And as for chronology, it has always bored hell out of me, for my life, anyway. Thank you, thank you. I'm so very grateful for your kind words.
