This note just in from Julie Stielstra, D6 member:
This lovely review of my youth novel, Opulence, Kansas, just came out Dec. 21 in Windy City Reviews, associated with the Chicago Writers Association. What a delightful Christmas gift - and maybe of the “grand planetary conjunction” we watched tonight.

"When I finish a book, I try to select a word that encapsulates ending my reading experience—gratified, informed, indignant, breathless. The word I chose when I closed the book Opulence, Kansas by Julie Stielstra, after reading it in two sessions, was “hopeful.” Hopeful that, despite terrible tragedies and loss, people can recover and find joy in the world. Hopeful that there are uncles and aunts like Len and Maggie, waiting to love and restore value to teens who need them. Hopeful that the next generation will value relationships like Katie and Travis. And hopeful that self-centered, inconsiderate people can be transformed into mindful allies."
