If you know Kirkus Reviews, you know they're notoriously tough critics. So I was thrilled that their verdict on Dear Orchid is "GET IT."

Today is my birthday. In the spirit giving, there are birthday gifts and request for YOU here https://carolvandenhende.com/bday/
It's been quite the trip around the sun. During this last year, we celebrated our son's graduation from Cornell, a company award for my work leading Responsible AI, our 28th wedding anniversary, and my forthcoming book DEAR ORCHID.
