I just finished Three Dog life and love it!! I wish you were my friend (I guess you get that all the time). I live in the Hudson Valley, so maybe someday I will get to meet you! I would love to take a writing workshop with you. I can’t wait to read the rest of your books. Thank you so much for your beautifully written thoughts.
Warmest regards,
Victoria Rolfe

I just ordered one for my sister-in-law because I just couldn’t give up my copy (we often trade books); Safekeeping, I asked her to send back to me! However, what I really want is pictures of the dogs!! I love them, too, and I want to know exactly which one is which. PLEASE post titled pics of the dogs!

My husband and I have endured five years of a brain injury my husband received from a failed Deep Brain Stimulator operation. He has suffered with Parkinson’s Disease for 30 years. He thought very long and hard before proceeding with the operation, thinking it would improve his quality of life. You never know what life will deal you. Your experiences with your dear husband was like reading my diary. I could not believe the peace it gave me just seeing these experiences in print. We live it everyday but to put print to it, for some reason, brings me peace. Safekeeping is the next reading on my list. Thank you.

Thank you for writing Safekeeping, it helped me through two divorces. Hope I won’t have a third, but if so, I know what I’ll be reading. Bless you.

D’Arcy, I met Abby at Tin House too–in 2004 I think. I was just looking over my notes from my workshop with Dorothy Allison the other day. Thanks for your comment. I know Abby appreciates it as well.
