This one got to me:
“I’m not sure if you remember me, but I attended your workshop in ——. After the workshop, I told my mother how much I had enjoyed reading Hand Wash Cold and how special it was to meet you in person, and she decided to check your book out of the library to read.
Six months later, Hand Wash Cold is the one gift that my mom has requested from my sister and me for Christmas. My mother is a former librarian who believes strongly in the power of checking out books – I don’t think I’ve ever known her to buy a book or to ask for one for a gift. Yet, here that is and here I am wondering if it would be possible to purchase an autographed copy of Hand Wash Cold for my mom for Christmas.”

That is special.
I’ll be the first to admit I buy most of the books I read. But Momma Zen is the most worn and read on my shelf by far. It warms my heart every time I crack it open. It means even more I met you and you signed it.
