Families can look a variety of different ways, made up of those that are related by blood or by choice.

No matter how a family is created or what form it takes, grace, forgiveness, and love are what holds it together.

Here’s one of the more amazing moments of my life, when a sitting president took his kids to a bookshop in December of 2014 and bought, among other books, a novel by a weird bald writer in Idaho.

"The film ultimately reveals itself to be not about autism, but about unspoken love and the different ways in which it manifests itself. The irony, of course, is that the art of language, to which Charles dedicates his life to, proves to hardly be limited to the written word, and that a repetitive circular motion or the utterance of an unintelligible sound can be just as meaningful as any one of his eloquent sentences." - Our Culture MANIFF Review (http://ow.ly/8CNf50A2lOc)

MANIFF Review: Language Arts - Our Culture Though adapted from Stephanie Kallos’ 2015 novel of the same name, Language Arts immediately feels like a staggeringly personal effort from writer-director Cornelia Duryée (The Dark Horse, Camilla Dickinson), who infuses a lot of her own experiences into this heartfelt and sensitively drawn drama...

Oh, my goodness. I just discovered a backlog of wonderful (unanswered) messages here. Friends: my sincere apologies! I had no idea that this page had a kind of private messaging board. Give me time, but I'll make an effort to get back to EVERY ONE OF YOU who have messaged me since...well, like 2015????

I loved getting this glimpse into the working habitat of one of the most wonderful writers and kindest human beings on the planet, someone who has made such a profound impact on my life, Sue Monk Kidd. Enjoy!

In my experience, this is exactly what it feels like to be lost in a good book!

To all of you dear readers who have supported LANGUAGE ARTS, here is a trailer of the forthcoming film from Kairos Productions. I am grateful beyond measure for the artistry of the filmmakers who are bringing this book to the screen, especially Cornelia Duryée.
