I think this is my favorite installment you have written. You are absolutely right, hard as it is. All I have, in addition to some relatively measly campaign contributions, to fight the evils and bring about goodness are my words. Thanks for giving us writers that confidence and hope, Charlotte!

Thank you, Suzanne, that means the world to me! And can I just remind you (and all readers) that you wrote an incredible, kick-ass book about finding humanity on death row. (He Called Me Sister, https://amzn.to/4f1xhEX) If that's not fighting evil with your words I don't know what is!

Makes perfect sense to me. Wish I could find my copy of Beautiful Ruins…read it on a plane ten or eleven years ago and now that you’ve reminded me, want to read it again.
