Can’t wait for my book to arrive, but I hope you know that the title fits you well. It’s a honor to watch your journey and see all the small things you have done and the mighty impact it is having on so many people. I look forward to seeing where the next part of your story takes you. I predict more big things are to come from how you live your life and give to others.

Came on here to say something to this same effect! Congratulations, Sharon. Your authenticity and integrity are an example to all Americans and your humor and love for animals are a balm on dark days.

I love the airplane shout out so much! So in the spirit of your book too. I ordered 3 more copies today, 1 for a gift, and 2 for gifts for friends who are going to your book event with me. I am so grateful for your work! I am also delighted to share my 30th wedding anniversary with your book launch day! May this be the first of many book launches to celebrate!

Happy Anniversary, Angela! Celebrating 27 years this week myself--which is weird because we just met 10 years ago in the '90s. 😂

I don’t think I’ve ever opened my Amazon app this many times to see the status of my delivery!!! I’m so grateful for all you have added to my life since I started following you three years ago. You’ve helped me to break up some of my biases against others who disagree politically with me, helped me see that things can still change, and more importantly - you’ve ignited a passion for reading as an adult! I feel like that’s the biggest one because as we read and learn, we continue to change. I’m excited for the person I will be because of being impacted by YOUR BOOK! Thank you for doing the next needed thing. You are an inspiration to many. 🥰

Was thrilled to see your book in my Audible today. Already started listening and LOVE IT! I've been waiting for soooo long and it does not disappoint!

You have been such a light in my life in the last several years since I began following you on IG. I've learned so much on topics I thought I knew. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself, your knowledge, humor, compassion, and ideas - and now your brilliant book!

I had a scare this morning… got an email saying my copy would arrive 9/27! I was so bummed… my local Target didn’t have it BUT Barnes and Noble did! I will save the other for a gift! Happy Pub day to Sharon and all Govenerds!

Congratulations. I had chills opening it- am not home yet to get my mail and hard copy but my Audible & Kindle versions have downloaded. I am in tears at lunchtime at work, “Hamilton had been afraid that their efforts at the convention, in which a nation was birthed after the travail of a hot summer’s labor, would not be enough.” What a writer you are. Thank you. Thank you.

I listened to the audio of the first chapter this morning. So far, it’s amazing! I know the book is the story of 12 unsung ordinary people…I hope you know you are also one of them. You are an amazing human and I am so honored to support your work.

I was so excited to pre order, I pre ordered twice on accident! 😂 but I’m so excited to have my copies show up and give this incredible gift to friends and family. Thank you for being brave enough to write it and constantly remind us we all have the capacity to be great.

We received the audio version this morning. I love it. The stories of the individual people and how their stories are intertwined with all the others is so fascinating. I'm enjoying listening to you read the book as well. This history of our country is fascinating - it's the stories you don't usually get to hear about ordinary people who truly are extraordinary. Thank you so very much.

I hope the app doesn’t tell my delivery driver how many times I’ve checked it for delivery updates. 🤦‍♀️ Can’t wait to start reading it!!!
