      Thanks, Sr. Dorcee! I’m eyeing some version of this for the opening chapter in a rearranged and new version of my book.

      (I’ve had people tell me my voice is, um, for better or worse, “unique.” 😂)

        The book that has to get published!

        Just fyi, I’m going to retire my Witnesses to Hope blog. I am publishing over at Substack which has a much wider audience. Maybe you should consider starting to publish there/transferring your Marcel Van stuff over there. Just a thought. I’m at https://substack.com/@srdorceebeloved
