COMMENTS FROM READERS "I'VE LEARNED SO MUCH..." (cont'd) Your book is just such an excellent example of this. I love how you go into side details for more information but not stray from the main goal. I love the way you present the story as if were happening as right now. You have intrigue, humor, information (both background and suggestion), feelings-so so much more plus of course wisdom. I'd like to make this first story required reading for my class. Your book has given me such inspiration. I'm almost like an artist that can't put the brush down. I fear I will forget before all goes down on paper. I have thought of so many of the things you have-it's almost like seeing what I have been talking about. The map, the feelings, the humor, the insights! I love the way you write. I know my students will ask-are you (or have you even been) a journalist, an English teacher? I know my students will be so overwhelmed by your writing style, they will feel they can't do this. Here I am writing to you now at 6 o'clock on a Saturday morning-trying to get out all that I am feeling before it gets away. May I have permission to use parts of your book for my teachings? ..." - Delores Davis, Seattle, WA (Instructor, "Writing Your Life Story") <Back
