Glad to have found your blog while surfing for information about starting a women’s writing group. Your post on your writing group encouraged me to be brave and see if I can find some other women who write in my small southern town. I’ll look for your book and check back in on your blog sometime. The Corrections is on my TBR list for this year. Enjoyed your review. B.
