I knew Beverly during this period of her life (or slightly after) and have appreciated how she now relates her history as an adult writer: with incredible sensitivity and humor. So honored to be a part of the process and to know her all these many years.

Thank you Laury! And thank you for the great workshop you taught at Brookdale, which encouraged me to return to writing after a long hiatus. I learned so much from you! I so appreciate your encouragement and guidance. Thank you for all the excellent editing tips and wise writing advice and for sharing the ups and downs of being a writer. It’s been a joy to know you and to have you as a lifelong friend.
