Thank you! I didn't know a good alternative to Amazon. I'll use that going forward and have made the change here.

Exactly what I was thinking. Also look into Better World Books which gives away a book for every one sold

“These days she’s forced to wear her passport card around her neck on a lanyard in order to fend off harassment.”

First of all, that’s horrific that she has to do that.

Second of all, we need more stories that remind us we are all humans.

Thank you, I changed the link to Bookshop. I appreciate other alternatives. It's a shame how much one or two billionaires control our reading material. That's completely unacceptable when you think about it. Thanks for the comment! Please write a review when you read this, author's need that and I'd be curious to hear your thoughts!

Considering our children is always a great way to start working on the world in which we want to live, and hate is not the opposite of love - indifference is. When someone hates you, you still register in their world. When someone is indifferent to you, you do not - you are not there, and that kills.
