Sessuale

David and Sandi:

Hi there Sessuale here :)
Finally got around to my email and what a smile your em's put on my face! Sandi , I love your comment about Gatto. That is *the perfect way to describe him. When I first read his words I felt like I had heard a voice cutting above the din of a (very negative) crowd, you know?

David, you are sooo right. I can't wait to read your book. We need to hear more of the positive, more of the real. I look forward to hearing your voice cut above the crowd too. :)

Sessuale and David!
Gatto's book saved my sanity when we were deciding to homeschool. There was
so much nonsense going on that his critique was something of a beacon in a
stormy sea!

I just placed a library hold on The Exhausted School. I look forward to
reading your book, David.
Sandi
