Rachel was a skeptic, but never a cynic. She was fierce but filled with grace. We are grateful that her words in print will continue to resonate with more and more people. Check out her works "Searching for Sunday" or "Inspired." Continue to #prayforRHE, specifically for her family as they mourn. A lot of who we are as educators has been formed #becauseofRHE.
