Message to My Future Child

Hi Michelle,

I am 33 now. When I was around twelve years old, I discovered The Chronicle of Ancient Darkness Series. It changed my life and sparked my live for reading. Reading those books took me out of the horrors of my daily life as a queer kid grouping up in a cult-like Pentocastal church. It brought me so much joy. As I write, tears are falling. Could you write a simple message to my future child, simply saying you hope they enjoy them. My husband and I are starting to look into adoption now. This would mean the world to me. You are a gift to the world, truly.

With Love,

Jesse & Wayne (The husband lol)

Dear Jesse, I was so moved by your message.  Life as a child must indeed have been tough (to put it mildly), and I’m glad that the Wolf Brother books were able to help.  To your future child, I will simply say:  I hope you enjoy your adventures in the Forest, and may reading bring you comfort and joy throughout your life!  And to you, Jesse and Wayne, may the guardian run with you.  With very best wishes, Michelle
