“Sad and lovely writing.”
“I found this a captivating read. As we all deal with aging family, friends, and selves, these are just the kind of bonds, both tenuous and sturdy, that take on great meaning. I love the writing, what a light touch. And so moving.”
“I love this essay! It’s super helpful! Your writing is terrific, and your soul is generous”
“Kristen did an outstanding job writing the feature story for our alumni magazine. Her story was thorough and told in a way that kept the reader interested and engaged.””
