I don't know her - Id like to. I haven't found out (yet) why my son posted the first video to his facebook page or what his reaction is/was, but I did let him know how much I appreciated it (again without explaining why - that'll happen in time).
I found out after I posted those 2 videos that Kristen had actually been in the news quite a bit over the past year or so. I guess that's what being down the rabbit hole for the past couple of years will do for you.
I am adding her book to my 'acquire' list, there are already several more tho.
