A friend of my sister's, whom I've never met, sent me this:

"I read your book "Letters to My Mother" last night. I must tell you your book transcends beyond your childhood. I'm from a family of 5 siblings and my upbringing was very similar to yours. I posted to Liz's Facebook wall that I came from a family of 5. I saw so much of my family in your writings. From the squabbles that break us apart,
to the beautiful Xmas mornings. My parents also installed a love of the arts in us (even when we probably couldn't afford it)...as a young girl I practically lived @ Lincoln Center. My Mom turns 80 this Saturday and your book made me see there is much that still needs to be said. So I want to thank-you for that. My best to this holiday season....."

As a writer, I can't ask anymore from a reader than that.
