Wonderful Margo.

And I listened to you reading and it's great.

I've been procrastinating doing audio myself, and you are an inspiration.

I was right there with you, Margo. Your description was my movie.

And I cheered as Zara found her voice. ✨

Oh that is such a sweet story Margo! I love your first paragraph it has the same energy as the sparrow you described her to be. You had me from the start. You’re a lovely writer!

So beautifully written and tender. If only we all had someone who can hear our voice and help us be heard.
