Christy's former colleagues at Park Road Montessori hosted me for their Book Club tonight to discuss LIFE AND TIMES OF HANNAH CRAFTS. We celebrated the joys of teaching and collaboration. Thanks so much Heather Ruckterstuhl for organizing! I love Park Road teachers!

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF HANNAH CRAFTS was honored at this year's MLA Book Awards Ceremony on January 9. Thank you to the readers and judges! "Virtually every page contains brilliant insights about literacy, authorship, trauma, memory, language, and resistance." www.mla.org/Resources/Ca...

We made the most of our Chapel Hill snow storm!

Big thanks to NBCC critic, Elizabeth Taylor, for this review of 2024 biography finalist, including LIFE AND TIMES OF HANNAH CRAFTS: "tools of a gumshoe," "sensibilities of a literary scholar," "nuanced perspective of a historian," and "congeniality of a tour guide." fivebooks.com/best-books/b...

Grateful for family time over the holiday break! Back at it with an exciting new semester!
