Angela Tuck, author of Somewhere Listening for my Name: 1960s Activists Tell Their Stories ""That Little Girl is a joy! I know first-hand the dreams and anxieties of being a girl dad. It's a rewarding journey, but you don't see the outcome until decades later. This book is a moment to catch glimpses of that outcome and reflect on my journey as a parent."" Rev. B. Chris Dorsey, President Disciples Home Mission ""To be known and loved by siblings and friends is a powerful way to enter and move through the world. Dr. Gillett has shared a small window of where she is from."" Carla R.
