Our lovely author-in-residence, Beth Kephart (remember to enter November's Then and Now Challenge!) has written a gorgeous tribute to our own Lorie Ann Grover's Hold Me Tight.
Beth says of the novel-in-poems "In line after line, Lorie Ann masterfully reveals a child grappling to understand, and to forgive."
Hooray for Lorie Ann's beautiful book and Beth's thoughtful contemplation of it.

Beth is so gracious and a woman who lives and breathes her poetry. I esteem her opinion much, much much! Needless to say, she made me cry. :~)
Thanks for sharing here, Melissa.
Of course! A little shine for LA. And Beth is the most wonderful person from whom to get poetry kudos!
Lorie Ann's work is as beautiful and real as she is.
