“As a small international school in the Middle East, visiting authors are rare. It was such a wonderful opportunity for our students to meet with a genuine author, especially one with such an inspirational story and powerful message. Lorie Ann’s message really clicked with our students and we are so grateful she could share her ideas, passions, and process with us."  Meghan Kenney, Teacher, Al Batinah International School, Sohar, Oman

"We are very grateful that you all could come and visit with us. I have received nothing but great feedback around this program.  Crossroads thanks you for your time and kindness."

Yshanda Springer, Crossroads Juvenile Center, Brooklyn, New York

"Your stories totally mesmerized our audience! WOW!!! Our students are awestruck with gratitude! They ALL so enjoyed your presentation and took so much away! Truly, you have made a HUGE difference at Jackson High!" Barbara Stolzenburg, Librarian, Washington

"Justina Chen and Lorie Ann Grover's stories brought us to tears and filled us with joy. It was a deep, enriching experience for all of us. We loved them and want to have them back soon! The two authors connected with our students immediately, and, by sharing their stories, gave us the courage to tell our own."

Lucy Hansen, Head Librarian, former Fulbright Scholar, 2012 National School Library Program of the Year, Texas
