A Book That Feels Like a Cabin Light in the Dark

If you’ve ever wished someone would take you by the hand and say, “You can do this. Let’s start with what you already have,” this is that book.
Your snippets are enough.
Your memories matter.
Your story is waiting.

Notes from an ARC reader:

My favorite lines-“Sometimes I color outside the lines”, “Clear as mud?” in the dedication, “You’re not here to write a masterpiece on command” , “You’re not building a cathedral, you’re gathering stones”.

More favorite lines: ” Perfection is just fear in a tidy little apron”-ha! And “How to tell if you’re in perfection mode-the right mood, hungry, tired, convinced the laundry is urgent”.

Mostly reading this made me feel like you’re the teacher all of us wish we had in high school English class. Especially when you told people to contact you when they got stuck. You’re patient, benevolent, and caring. I was smiling as I finished it, you’re such a comforting cheerleader!… Jan K, ARC reader
