Last spring, I deliberated on this forum about the profanity in Look Me in the Eye. The book doesn't contain anything really shocking, but still, I'd received complaints from some moms, and I wondered . . . Should I remove it for the paperback release.
There were qute a few responses, most of which said to leave it alone. However, I went my own way, and rewrote the dialogue. I have a story about the whole thing on my RedRoom blog today

It will be interesting to see what the reading public thinks. So far, the reactions when I described the changes at speaking events have been overwhelmingly positive.
