Seeing Red is lovely, scholarly, heart-warming, exquisitely written, and so engaging! The best we can hope for in scholarship. I will share it with my qualitative research class as an exquisite example of arts-based writing! I know it will touch them and reach them as the
very best of scholarship and art does!
