Love reading about writers finding their way through the memoir process serendipitously discovering inspiration...mangoes of all things!

Wow! I realized I'd read the Wash Post op-ed (2021) Annabelle wrote -- about her years assuming the identity of a presumed white French man while working as a restaurant critic in FL. At the time, I thought this would be a great book. Can't wait to read this debut and all subsequent offerings!

This is very inspiring! Thanks Sari. As a journalist and fellow memoirist, I share some of the same writing and researching habits.
