Summary

I'm so excited to introduce to my friend Mattie Selecman. She is an incredible writer, a kind friend, and knows how to hold joy and suffering together. Her new book Lemons on Friday is a heartbreaking and beautiful retelling of the loss of her newlywed husband. This is a powerful story from a dear woman. You're going to love her and her book!
