I am thrilled to share that members of the The Association for Library Service to Children has named
Hugging the Rock as a 2007 Notable Children's Book.
This book came from my heart, and by that I mean that it ripped my heart into itty bitty pieces while I was writing it and then, slowly put my heart back together again. Writing has always been a way for me to heal myself and this book, this story, went deep and helped heal a pain I thought would never leave me.
Thank you librarians. I am so honored to be on your list of Notable Children's Books for 2007
