Zukas

I've had a unique experience this year working with one of our senior English majors as she has been writing a novel as part of her departmental honors project. I've been very impressed with her work and how much her writing seems to be growing through the process of completing this project. We've been meeting on Fridays to discuss her work. She's spending this weekend putting the finishing touches on her story of a large family, the Zuckers, and their adventure in opening a family business selling Zuka shells on Zebedee Island. I'm excited to see how her novel concludes and the struggles of Isabelle and George and Lillian and the other characters she's created work out.
