Thanks to BookPeople, Austin's great indie bookstore, for hosting the reading earlier this week. We had a good crowd and some thoughtful questions during the Q & A. Also had a terrific time discussing the nuances of interviewing with the kindred spirits at the Texas After Violence Project, and a wonderful and inspiring meeting with members of Austin IN Connection, who then posted this on their organization's Facebook page:
AINC supported a small gathering this afternoon with Susannah Sheffer where she spoke about her book "Fighting For Their Lives." Not only is she deeply intelligent and humane, she is humble about what she has done - which is, simply, to listen thoughtfully to the experiences of capital defense attorneys and sensitively report back through the pages of her book. UNBELIEVABLY inspiring, important and highly relevant to psychotherapists or, really, anyone in the trenches tangling with the many faces of human suffering.
Getting to talk with others in those very trenches is arguably the best thing about publishing a book like this one. Thanks to all who made such discussion possible.
