Music to an author!

I woke up to an email from a 12-year-old reader that was music to my eyes and ears:

"I have so many connections with this book that while reading it, I teared up. I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely love this book. It brings back thousands of memories. I actually feel like I'm Corinna since I loss my mother back in December. It was hard but I'm still alive. I honestly think that so far, this has to be the best book I've ever read in my life."

Hearing from readers who felt moved by my writing makes the long, winding, and challenging road of bringing a book into existence all worthwhile, and it's just the motivation I needed today as I churn and shape the characters and plot of my next book!
