I can tell this is going to be a great column so get rid of that imposter syndrome! You're a writer, soon to be author. I spent many of my "growing up years" in Davenport, Burlington and Ft. Madison but haven't been back much in the last few years. I still have relatives there though. Good memories, for sure. Looking forward to reading your first collection of essays!
Andrea, thank you so much for this encouraging comment (and for take the time to read and comment at all!) Love knowing that you're a former Davenporter, and funnily enough, Burlington and Ft. Madison are down around my home stomping grounds. (Burtlington was 45 minutes away, but one of the few places where we could seek out a mall, i.e., civilization.) Thank you again!! Cheers!
