Rachel and Stella

This is Rachel, my best friend in 7th grade. She's holding her daughter, Stella.

Keep your eyes out for Rachel's book this summer, which she wrote for her daughter--to help her feel more connected to her father, Craig. Also the love of Rachel's life, Craig passed away in his sleep almost two years in October.

The story, called "Stella's Dance" (is that right Rachel?) will be available in bookstores this summer. I'll keep you posted.
