Thanks so much for that impulsive purchase, Chris, and glad to hear the book hit home. I’m working on getting a 2nd book out at the end of the summer; funnier, I think. I love that you liked the envelope too!!! Its all in the details. Stay in touch, Haidee

I’m thrilled that you bought Haidee’s book, it arrived so soon, and with a personal message, AND that you liked it!

As for family, I tried to get a certain member of my family who I thought needed to be schooled, books about some of the stuff I’ve dealt with over the years. The request was disregarded though. It did leave me with quite a bitter taste – like, “You love me, but you can’t be bothered to read a book about this issue that’s really affecting my life?” I was pissed. It was only a passing reflection of a much larger problem though, and I gave up on that relationship some years ago.

Thanks for the props, yo. I lawled

I too love this book, and have been procrastinating on a post about it (shame on me!). I'm so glad that you and Lee Ann have given Haidee some great press - I'll be joining the chorus soon.

Thanks for sharing.
I hope to get the book soon.

I’ve “passed off” a book about diabetes before. It has not made its way around to all those I think should read it yet but so far so good with reaction/response to it.

And I totally agree, “…but unless you experience the day-to-day grind there really is no way to perfectly describe what is going on.”
How true.
We in the DOC stick together because no one else can truly know.
