November 1, 2019
As Ward clarified in her 2018 commencement address at Tulane University, she didn't get to be a New York Times best-selling, two-time National Book Award-winning author by dreamily sitting around. Her themes: hard work, respect for self and others, and a tough-get-going attitude in the face of adversity, which she illustrated by citing challenges she and her family have overcome.
