Yes, I totally feel this: "what it is safe for me to give." Caregiving my mentally ill mom for the last two years.

And yes! So pleased for you: Ancestor Trouble deserves the prize (though I'm sure everyone else that's shortlisted does, too!).

I hope you do this class again. I think the first time is always good to learn from, and each next time builds on the last time, no? When I did a workshop at SUNY, it was so daunting at the outset, but by the fifth and last week, I wanted five more. I hope you do it again.

Re-upping this longing. If a class is not feasible, maybe a book or other medium? Not that you don't have other projects!!!

I love your emphasis on making compassionate space for our own messy family histories. That’s been so important to me over the past years.

Congrats on the prize nomination! I’m glad to see your book resonating so widely!
