Stefan Merrill Block’s Homeschooled — Jenna Bush Hager’s new @TODAYshow pick — is more than a memoir. It’s a reminder of how many kids grow up unseen in unregulated homeschooling. I was one of them. His book is shaping the memoir I’m writing now.

At age 11, I auditioned for #PeeWee I was hyper, nervous having been homeless. He left the casting table, bobbed hips with me, & said, "You're funny!" That meant everything to me. Whenever I feel insecure, I remember him & am not afraid to stand out. https://t.co/oZQfGlydyl

@ASoloski Can't wait to read "Flashout." I'm manifesting having a book cover as stunning as yours for my in-progress memoir, "The Stand-In" about performing at Studio 54 and the Wooster Group at age 8.

[Alexis Soloski @ASoloski]

And a gentle reminder that I'll be on that Strand on Wednesday, Aug. 6, with the splendid Taffy Brodesser-Akner, lanching "Flashout," please come!
