Is there a Link for an advance purchase of  signed copy?  

 

Never mind.  I click the link to the book title. 

Sorry Mel the copies I have are not signed, but thanks for your order.  I'll ask Ron to add a link to the Evite to buy the book.

Get it together, Troy! The first edition must have signed copies!  LOL!

Kalisha will be able to send signed copies if you like just return the one I sent (or keep it as a gift) and I'll have her send you a signed one.  Sorry about that.

 

I got my copy and started reading it yesterday. My only challenge is the first chapter is so sad that I had to put it down.

 

Don’t get me wrong.

 

It is precisely the type of news item I would follow in the Washington Post and the New York Times.

 

The rich storytelling is similar to the Black women mainstream journalists I follow.  I love how they flesh out stories from a place of “knowing.” 

 

I think reading “Running to Fall” is tricky because I feel like I’m reading this story coverage from a place of pain.  

 

And now that I read my own words - I can see Kalisha Buckhanon’s brilliance in storytelling.  

 

Bravo! 🎉🎉🎉

Thank You Both! But Writing is hard and worth every dollar!  I’’d be happy to purchase another copy. 

I haven't bought the book, so I don't know what I will be able to ask. but I will share
