I admire the courage of your family members who agreed to take the journey that was so beautifully documented in Traces of the Trade.

The film’s straightforwardness and sincerity jumps off the screen. I really appreciated that dinner table conversation in which you challenged your Ivy League cousin to explore the idea of educational privilege.

Very powerful stuff. I look forward to reading your book.
