You uncovered so many deep extremely painful parts of your past and families. Can you tell me more about your writing process and when and how you decide decide to go about wg this book . Guest the writing process was starting to come together in 2017 i wrote a story for the New York Times about what happened to my exhusband and was called the lawyer of the addict. It was about a years worth of research and writing about it and exploring it with my family and children and seeing if it was okay with them to go ahead and tell the world of this story and figure out why we were doing it and what it meant to us. All of it was largely to make some kind of meaning out of something that felt almost arbitrary and shameful and kelsey, and also to try to understand what was going on with peter and also in the Legal Profession in terms of Substance Use and depressi
Of getting anything done. Going to do things, youre not a real democrat. I watch these moderates not only did they want to hold my feet but thats the only way youre going to keep that house and that tension never seem to fully become result. From what i could see did that of course the backbone of a lot of those races is what that is. Chrissy in my particular district, that vast majority is in the county and Chester County has been read for more than 160 years. In my community is 40 percent democrat and 40 percent replica republican and 20 percent independent and we are a very simple place. I think im one of those people that youre mentioning in terms of the race that i was able to be is the House Speaker and really flip. Really being one of those pragmatic places. Something that i hope that women bring to the table and veterans as well. As a understanding that you are all part of the same team. And honestly, across the aisle, we are all part of the team.

Over the past several weeks, we have taken some swift, decisive, unprecedented actions in our state. In order to slow the spread of covid19 and to save lives. I just want to take a moment to thank the overwhelming majority of marylanders who have taken this situation seriously and who have remained at home, avoided crowds and practiced much needed social distancing.

There were crowds of people visiting the Cherry Blossoms in washington dc in large gatherings on the beach in ocean city and on the boardwalk and in many ofthe county and local parks across our state. Let me repeat once again as strongly as i possibly can. If you are engaged in this kind of activity, you are breaking the law and you are literally endangering the lives of your family, your friends and your fellow citi
