I was hoping that you could pass this email along to Dr. Meeker. I thought her book was one of the best pieces of work I’ve read in along time. Being a writer myself (I produced The Simpsons and King of the Hill for FOX), I don’t get to finish as many books as I’d like to anymore but I read her book from cover to cover after my wife gave it to me for Father’s Day..
I have an 12 year old daughter, Annabelle, who I’ve always been close with. She’s a beautiful girl, outgoing, funny, a great student and she’s the only girl on my boy’s club lacrosse team…a real warrior and I still found all the information in Dr. Meeker’s book fascinating and valuable in trying to cope with the middle school years and beyond. I usually start editing or rewriting books when I disagree with something but my instincts told me that she was on to something from the first page to the last.
Please pass along my gratitude to Dr. Meeker on a wonderful accomplishment. I will certainly pass it along to my friends.
