Oh girl...you are such a survivor! I knew you would get the most out of the situation and if I'm ever stranded on a desert island, I want you to be there. Gosh, I would be milking this one.

A friend of mine is read "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle" and she seems to love it. She's going to send it to me next. I wondered if it would be worth the read. I did notice that Stephen King endorsed it...but quite honestly, I DO NOT like SK work. It scares me too much.

Here's hoping your students pitch in and help!
