My co-author, Abigail Dodd, and I have been the closest of friends for over 44 years. Together, we've navigated and supported each other through college, graduate school, marriage, child-rearing, as well as careers in science, law, DIY house flipping, and more. As highly communicative women, we’re passionate about sharing what we’ve learned, because it works. When engaging with others, we strive to make communication clear and easy, especially for our readers. Happy trails, and enjoy the conversations ahead!
