Thank you, Houston & Brazos Books!

Just got back from a wonderful visit to Houston and the Brazos Bookstore. Many thanks to Sarah and the staff at Brazos for their warm welcome, and to the fantastic audience I had at my reading. It is very heartening to find so many highly engaged readers, asking themselves (and me) hard questions about what the past has to teach us, and how we can apply those lessons to our lives today.

Quotes by Ursula Werner (?)

“What was Oskar trying to tell her? Then, as Oskar continued to clasp her hands, Edith began to feel what her husband was feeling: resolution, courage, exhaustion, sadness. No fear, not even an ounce of fear. But love--the love Oskar was communicating to her at that moment was overwhelming.”
― Ursula Werner, The Good at Heart
