"Working with Rebecca Segall was among the most rewarding intellectual adventures my children have ever had. They came to her as good writers. The work they produced for Rebecca reached whole new depths of insight, clarity and expression. Rebecca cultivated a love of language and ideas, and made them feel safe to write with real honesty about their passions and their inner life -- no small feat with adolescents. My children spent hours with her in small seminars of their peers, and left hungry for more."
