“It’s very different reading The Hardy Boys as a 7 year old and as an adult - as a kid you’re think ‘oh good the detective is out of down the boys will get to help’ and as adult you end up wondering about the state of that detective’s marriage - things can’t be good there.” - WF

Such an engaging and inspiring conversation with Jeannette Walls and Shelley Youngblut tonight. What a great reminder that empathy makes all the difference, that we all want the same things.
