Oh how thankful I am for news like this from my inbox:

Dear Mary,

I just finished reading Watching the Tree Limbs. I devoured it in less than twenty-four hours. I would have finished it in less if I didn’t have to sleep and take care of my children.

I have both nothing to say, and too much to say. So for now, just this ~ Thank you. With all of the healing I’ve done, there was yet another layer of the onion ripe for peeling and I didn’t even know. I am raw. But changed.
