“It’s a wonder that I haven’t abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.”
Anne Frank, July 15, 1944
I published Qui est Elise? in 2024 through TPRS to help teach French to high school students. I am also the author of Thread and Other Stories (self pub. 2017 with Book Baby), a collection of short stories about life, existence, and the characteristics that make us human.
