17 Year Olds, This One's For You: "The Power of Your Developing Heart"

I had the fun of returning to high school last night...not as Lucas did in my just-published young adult time travel romance I Remember You, but in a much more ordinary capacity, as a guest speaker at an induction ceremony to the Cum Laude Society at my high school, the Kingswood-Oxford School in West Hartford, CT (Wyverns Forever!).

My remarks took the form of an essay I'm calling "The Power of Your Developing Heart." I spoke about what it was like to be an apathetic teenager of the 1980s, and how studying Russian put me on the track to writing a book about memory and forgetting. Read the essay on CathleenDavittBell.com.

And here's a wonderful write-up of the evening on Head of School Dennis Bisgaard's blog.
