Q&A with Patsy Truxaw, author of “Gathering: Family, Grief, Resilience”

What were the benefits of workshopping Gathering with a group?

I was inspired by people's writing and by people's directness, and I felt like eventually it was a class where I could take a chance and be myself and read what I wrote. I got good feedback, and the best thing is having a group of people who are just so supportive. I like having an audience, as it turns out.
