Francesca Lia Block shares this memory from the launch party for her book Guarding the Moon (2003):
"It was about my first year as a mom to my daughter Jasmine. She was tiny at the time and sat on my lap wearing a knit cap with a rose on it, to match my pink top and skirt, while I signed my books under your tree. Now she’s sixteen and still my little moon. This memoir was an unusual departure for me, as I had best been known for Dangerous Angels: The Weetzie Bat Books but Skylight welcomed us just the same. My definition of a great bookstore is one where writers are recognized, seen, supported and embraced in all stages of our careers and lives.
Thank you for letting me be a part of your family."
