September Discussion Post for True Biz
[ID: A book cover with an illustration of a hand and colorful block letters laying on a gray wooden floor with a black typewriter. Two black and pearl hair pins frame the book. Three stickers are laying next to it that illustrate ASL signs in abstract swathes of color.]

@libraryofdreaming: This was definitely a meaty read so I’m looking forward to unpacking it all with you! My top question is… That ending! I can’t wait to hear what you think!
