“You should have included a fuckin’ box of Kleenex with the purchase of your book! (I’ve been reading it on my way to work; people on the train think I am a crazy person.)

My mom became a widow when I was 16 and reading your book brought back memories of the days following my dad’s death. I realized that what you portray in the first part of “Splitting the Difference: A Heart-Shaped Memoir” is probably similar to the pain that my mom went through. I knew that she was sad and cried for years—still does and it has been 13—but, like you, she is a warrior.

P.S. I could not believe you shared with the world—and your parents—the story of your first night with Alberto…thanks for that!”
