Thank you so much for this article on selective mutism [a rare anxiety disorder]. It brought tears to my eyes and hope to my heart.

This is evocative, thoughtful, and important writing. I love the way you centralize food in your narratives--it's very engaging and grounding.          -Writing juror's comment, the Sustainable Arts Foundation
