Thank you & Lucas is one of my most favorite friends 🤍

It still takes my breath away to see ENDPAPERS displayed in bookstores. Thank you for the fancy write-up, Flyleaf Books!! And for comparing the novel to the work of Kristen Arnett, Antonia Angress, and Torrey Peters! ✨Swoon✨💕

Judy Heumann dedicated her life to the fight for civil rights—starting as a young organizer at Camp Jened and later helping lead the disability rights movement. Michelle and I were fortunate to work with Judy over the years, and are thinking of her family and friends.

.Judy Heumann Legacy has passed. I only met her briefly, a handful of times, but I still feel the loss along with countless others who’s lives were changed forever by her work. It’s no exaggeration to say that her legacy will ripple throughout human history.
