I met Jennifer at Miami University of Ohio.  We laughed.  We cried.  We created such a sacred community.  She is so brave.  I look up to her always.

Pepper Winters is a gifted author of many genres and I am hooked on her writing.  When a Moth Loved a Bee, had me transported immediately to a world I thought was real (it's not)!  I kept asking the same question in different ways, but alas, she wouldn't tell me anything about the second book.   I have Book-Letdown.

You met Heidi in April 2021.  We went to graduate school together at Emporia State University in Emporia, Kansas.  I would not have made it through without Heidi's friendship.  As we talk again, we are more aware of our lives as 50-something women and everything that goes into getting older.  The aging parents, the separate lives of siblings and how we plan to leave our mark on...
