Praise for Dear Dana

“This is a book for anyone who wonders about the differences between a Facebook friend and a Real-Life friend and who yearns to see a person’s real life behind their Facebook image. It is also about the power of prayer and the abundance of kindness in our world. But ultimately, it’s about connection and how we are all connected when we come from love.”
—Rivvy Neshama, author of Recipes for a Sacred Life: True Stories and a Few Miracles

"Amy shows us how something as simple as a letter—let alone 580 of them!—can change a life. Who else would decide to write a personal letter to every one of their Facebook friends? The stories from these letters provide insights into how we can help people through difficult times and connect with others—and, of course, plenty of good laughs.”
—Brad Aronson, best-selling author of HumanKind: Changing the World One Small Act At a Time.
