Hi, Genevieve! I am trying to remember where I know you from. I know I've seen you comment a lot of the places I read (or, SOMEONE named Genevieve whom I assume is you), but I can't help thinking we actually had a conversation ourselves at one point before. I'm thinking it WAS about Madeleine L'Engle, actually! Who of course is a very worthy person to name a child after! There are other fictional Sams I will admit had an influence on my son's name, too, but Sam Gamgee is definitely the main one.

I have heard of the Kluger book, but haven't picked it up yet. You intrigue me!
