(L to R) Gail, Marilyn, Lisa, Me, Elisabeth
Almost every Thursday night for five years, these women and I shared our work and the truth–no matter how hard it was to say it or hear it. The result: Gail Storey’s I Promise Not to Suffer, Lisa Jones’ Broken: A Love Story, Elisabeth Hyde’s In the Heart of the Canyon, Marilyn Krysl’s Dinner with Osama, and now my Ogallala Road. I cannot thank these beautiful, strong, funny, honest, and compassionate women enough.
