Reading is definitely our happy time. I feel so lucky to have those happy moments because (I’m incredibly paranoid and a professional worrier) … More Pay It Forward
Books are a central part of my life and my identity. Growing up I wouldn’t go anywhere without a book. My favorite part of going to the mall was the clearance Babysitter Club books at JCPenny. My first job was at the local library and it’s where I met Danny. I’ve written stories for as … More Books

It sounds crazy but a catalyst to our house hunt was the new library card at the Civic Center. I couldn’t get it renewed last year since I’m not a resident. I grew up in the city, worked at the library with Danny so my library card is a big deal. Walking around with a Northville … More 1,000
