We stayed at Historias Lodge, wonderful hostel outside of the Cloud Forest. I walked into the main lobby and found your book, The Slippery Year on the book exchange shelf. I am almost finished and heading back to the states tomorrow. Your memoir was a rollarcoaster of fun and I could not get enough. It's as if someone peeked into my life and wrote about it. I have a wonderful, quirky husband and an 8 year old son. Your story of Bodhi is parallel to ours with our dog Duke and the mattress delimma, let's just say, we are still moving through that landmine. Thank you for sharing your story with me. Ihave not found an author or writing that touched me and moved me in a long time. You made me laugh, you make my husband life and you have challenged me to "trust in the safe places" All the best in your writing journey! Gina Thorne Williamsburg, VA Hello Melaine -
