First off, wow...your daughter is so beautiful and talented. Knowing what I do from your serialized memoir, I can imagine your pride and maybe even surprise at her. I feel so proud of my children's accomplishments because of our early lives. They pulled it out! Also...your novel excerpt! Sign me up to buy it when it's published!

Compelling excerpt. The scene and vibe reminds me of a novel I just finished called Moon of the Turning Leaves by Waubeshig Rice. Looking forward to reading more.

You are such a prolific writer, Constance. I really admire that. What a treat to get to read some of your fiction. Best of luck with the revisions. I can't wait to hold a copy of your book in my hand

Thank you so much for your encouragement, Clare! I so needed to hear that today! I love writing fiction - it's been a long road to get it out there in the world but i love hearing from someone who can see that happening. Thank you again!

Oh I love this novel so much, it’s such a moving story and so beautifully written!! Every time I read it, I find new things I love in it. And you have such a needed voice illuminating what women in conservative worlds go through and what it takes for them to gain agency over their lives.
