HOW a non-fiction reader can read a fiction book

FIRST: Pretend it's from your daughter.
Not by her, FROM HER.
NEXT: and that she has something to
tell you but she doesn't know
the right jargon. She can just
barely make sentences. she can
just barely SPEAK.
THIRD: You may have to pretend
you're her to hear. Or pretend
you're anyone.
FOURTH: It's OKAY. We're not our selves.
we're all kinds of people.
LASTLY: even fiction readers.
