• Wonderful review in the Chatham News + Record, written by the talented Lars Dolder. An excerpt: "The Rope of Life serves to accomplish more than just chronicle one person’s maturation and self-discovery. Rather, it demonstrates with vivid imagery and refreshing prose the powerful effects of inaction, and the troubling consequences of apathy. Her experience informs a world-view that challenges the United States to reckon with its history and to plot a different course moving forward." Here's the link to the full review.
