Super-cool webzine VELA highlighted Catapult’s adoption series last week, and called “Buckle and Sway” a “haunting, sparse essay.” Blushing!

My aunt, Rose, who is the center of the essay, is tickled, too. For over twenty years, she’s been asking me when I’m going to write the story of our family, and I’m finally starting to deliver on my promise that I would.
