“Dear Rich

Here I am at 84 getting such an insight into a whole new world, thanks to one of your books, Out of my Mind. To read it is to develop sympathy, empathy, yes, but also to develop so much admiration for her (Melody’s) courage.

This is so well written. On page 118 is a sentence that brought me up short. They are at the aquarium and Melody says to us: the place is crowded…, “I can almost buy cymbalta forget who I am.” What days of suffering are hinted at in that sentence. And this even with a loving family.

I never want a special-ed teacher to set foot in a classroom without having read this book first! In fact as I think about it, ALL teachers should read this –after all, differences come in all guises and sizes, in all classrooms.

Thank you for this.”
