I kicked off my first reading at One More Page Books in Arlington, Virginia. Staff member and avid reader, Sally, gave an enthusiastic and well-researched introduction. The bookstore owner, Eileen, and her mother, Joyce, made me feel at home.

A special thanks to all of the readers who attended the event, purchased books, and made me feel welcomed, respected, and loved.

As a footnote, One More Page Books is where President Obama shops with his daughters for their latest reads. Although he wasn’t here tonight, I enjoyed seeing the pictures of his latest visit with the staff and shoppers.
