Random House has chosen an actress to read (perform?) the audiobook version of Everyone Is Beautiful, and she’s adorable! Kirsten Potter–you may have seen her guest spots in Medium or Judging Amy–will record the book in January. (The audiobook goes on sale the same day as the hardcover—Feb. 17, 2009!) Look at that great smile! […]

But you CAN pre-order Everyone Is Beautiful, and it’ll arrive at […]
The first blog review for Everyone Is Beautiful is in, and it’s great. Marcia at The Printed Page, starts her review like this: “This book is LOL funny in parts and tackles serious subject matter with a light hand and wisdom in others. The first 5 chapters had my spouse yelling down from upstairs for […]
Here’s the excerpt my great publicist at Random House included with Everyone Is Beautiful when she mailed it out to reviewers this week: “There is no better people-watching than at the airport: The whole world packed into such a tight space, moving fast with all their essentials in their rolling bags.
