Groceries Quote by Debra Hamel

“I'm always impressed that as we go through life most of the stuff we do doesn't matter that much, at least not ostensibly: you go to the grocery store, you work, you go to school. If any of that were omitted, most days, it wouldn't matter much.” quote by Debra Hamel — Download Open image

I looked up the agent on the web and found out that he not only represented authors writing books similar to mine, but I knew some of…
