Missouri Association of Librarians GATEWAY READERS AWARD Nomination!

I am proud that WHAT I CARRY is nominated for the 2022-23 GATEWAY READERS AWARD. This wonderful recognition means something special to me, as my mother’s family are all from the Ozark Mountains in the Show Me State of Missouri. These are Librarian-curated awards, voted by readers and librarians, and that makes the nomination even more wonderful. From the Missouri Association of Librarians website:

Quotes by Jennifer Longo

“Adopted is not an adjective,” he said. “Joellen says that. It’s an event that happens, not who you are. As an adjective it implies inherent bullshit about a person that isn’t true. A person is not ‘adopted.’ They were adopted. Words matter.”
― Jennifer Longo, What I Carry

“Home is just a soft place to land in between adventures, or trouble, or what the hell ever. It’s a harbor, not an anchor. Be brave, see the world, every forest and mountain, and know you always have a safe place to rest and come back to.”
― Jennifer Longo, What I Carry

“Not being perfect is for people who have families; you can screw up and they still keep you.”
