Sending Holiday Cheer
Every fall Wg selects a current-year release as our holiday book. It's a special tradition that allows us to share our appreciation—and deliver a mid-winter read—to our network of friends.
HOLIDAY GIFT TRADITION
In 2023, we gifted Andrew Leland’s The Country of the Blind, a personal account of entering a new way of being with perspective, wonder and joy.
