It is always an honor to know someone has not only chosen to spend time reading my book and living with its characters, but also to respond with reactions. I am glad you have found it a satisfying read. naseem Thank you very much, Michael.

I started it this Monday and am almost finished today. Yours is one of those books that I find very difficult to put down, a book that cause you to lose sleep. I find myself captivated by the characters and their secrets. I will definitely be recommending The Crying Tree to my friends. Naseem,

Just the humanity and the complicated and valid emotions all around. I think that's what I enjoyed so much about Naseem's book, how it let the reader stay in that place for so long, how it didn't let any of the characters jump to easy answers.

The result, however, would depend on the person. Working with F. on his own story challenged me to think differently about race, education, justice, socioeconomics, family systems, you name it. He was a complex, funny, and warm person (yes, really). Because of him, I can no longer reduce someone to an abstraction or category.
