Here in the Middle

July 17, 2016Books, Publications, WritingJackie Pick

It has been a busy summer, and I feel like this blog needs a little attention, so I’m hoping to show up here more often in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, here is the gorgeous new cover for the upcoming book, Here in the Middle. I am a proud contributor; this is an important book that will generate necessary conversations.

To that point, there is now an accompanying Facebook Group to discuss life “in the middle.” As administrator Christine Sass Organ explains, it is “a community for sharing the joys and sorrows, trials and tribulations of the middle generation.” You can join us here:

Hope to see you there!
