Just noticed you’ve highlighted a few of my essays here. Thanks so much for that! You and your readers might also be interested in my book, Penelope Ayers. It’s a spiritual autobiography and memoir set in New Orleans and deals with many of the same themes, just over a longer period of time!
Thanks again,
Amy Julia
