Courtney, have you considered letting a book about abortion be your next book? You have such an extraordinary way of making stories personal enough for most people to relate and find compassion. I can imagine you being one of the few authors I’m familiar with who could handle this topic with grace and even objectivity. I also recognize it would be polarizing and would take so much time from your beloved family, especially once it came out. And I wanted to plant the seed (which, I’m guessing, is already germinating somewhere in there!)

Thanks for the great work you do.

Thank you for zeroing in on the many hardships and decisions that women and families must make, not just the question of whether or not to have an abortion. This is so much more multi-layered and complicated than our elected officials--on either side--profess or care to discuss. But only through understanding an individual's story do we get close enough to the issue to actually have a discussion. Interestingly, the care economy is something I just read about as a priority for Indra Nooyi, the former CEO of Pepsi. It is the backbone of our economy. Your storytelling combined with her influence...gold.
