Hi Abby. It's Heather from Oberlin (Cassie's friend). I can't remember how I started reading but your letters have been a balm for me the past 6 mos or so. Thank you. Hang in there (I'm trying). And keep writing!

This is the 2nd time this week I’ve heard someone mention Jo Ann Beard. I was lucky enough to have her as a writing teacher my last year of college, a year after the terrible thing happened on our campus. She blew me away then and it makes me so happy that she’s so well-regarded so many years later. She’s a treasure.
