If someone does give the book to the bride-to-be at a wedding shower, can you please make sure to take a picture of their face and share it with the group?

If you need a roadie for your concert tour, I'm your man.

Those are such good book club questions! I will note that roughly 15 years ago, after I left my husband, several women at a small community event told me, separately, that they admired me but weren't brave enough to leave their marriages. Note: I wasn't brave, I was desperate. Keep pissing off the patriarchy, Lyz, we love you for it!

I loved your new book. Also wanted to share this link with anyone who might be interested. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/partnered-with-a-survivor-david-mandel-and/id1497442027. These folks are building on the work of the late Evan Stark in hopefully reversing the harm family court does on the protective parent and children in custody and DV cases while privileging abusers.

You gotta get on a Crooked Media pod while you are in CA- Hysteria is the obvi choice, but Lovett or Leave It would be great. Josh Gondelman will be on the show in DC and maybe he can help :)

I hope you'll come to Portland at some point; I've been telling my wife about your writings and we'd love to come see you speak.

California is more than the Bay Area and Los Angeles - why three events in Los Angeles?
