I’ve had A Gentleman in Moscow on my list also. Now I want to get to it quicker.

Words… yes! Oh my, such an intense, aching story, but beautiful. Many tears, both sad and relieved. I had been forewarned of the possibility it could be triggering for me and was ready to put it down if needed, but I never needed to. The hard topics were handle with sensitivity and honor.

Yes. Such heart wrenching subject matter, but I agree...handled with sensitivity and honor. Well stated.

Sheri, thank you for reading Words. I worked very hard to ensure the abuse taking place in the story was clear but not graphic. As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, I am very sensitive to triggers. I knew I couldn’t prevent triggering some readers, but I prayed frequently for those readers as I wrote.
