The publisher, Penguin Random House, is working on a way to make this a national promotion with each independent bookstore donating to a cancer-related organization in their community. 

Wordsworth is donating their profits to HopeSpring in memory of Stuart, who passed away this year due to cancer. We're enormously grateful for their efforts and thoughts on our behalf.
