I said these words, and they are true. Wonderful book that everyone should read as soon as it hits!

BTW - Malarkey Books still has my book, Still Alive, on sale for $13 (!!!!), so if you've been on the fence about taking the plunge, now is the time to do it for cheap.

It was longlisted for the 2025 Dublin Literary Awards and some folks say it's good. <3

I have become the biggest M Robinson fan on the planet. No one does family subtleties, and the beauty within them, like her.
