“I know how much of Karen Draper’s heart has gone into her book, The Place of Us, and it goes without saying that this accomplishment is way more than a book or memoir, but the ever so specially, tender, precious, beautiful everythings that she was brave enough and vulnerable enough to share with the world. I can’t even begin to imagine how many people will be blessed by her words. But with everything in my being, I know that her son, Preston, is smiling like crazy, knowing what an absolutely amazing Momma she is, and how she’s managed to turn her sorrow into something beautiful.”
