Our book has been born!
Below: L to R, Patricia Morris, my editor AKA fairy godmother (who else makes dreams come true?) center: Corrine Dwyer, publisher from North Star Press, and me, making believe I am a real author.
It kinda feels like my first day at kindergarten did....
A MUST READ!
And now, my very favorite other book this month that you
absolutely have to check out: The Woman Who Fell from the
Sky: An American Woman's Adventures in the Oldest City on Earth by Jennifer
Steil. A
gifted writer, Steil surprised me with her brilliant and candid writing… and
her elegance. It is rare to find a first book this enticing. Writing with a journalist's eye for detail, Steil narrates the
journey she and her staff of a Yemeni newspaper take together, sometimes endearing, but then at other
times a volatile clash of two cultures. I was immediately drawn into
her story, so different and so original from many of the works being published
here and abroad today. A truly refreshing change, The Woman Who Fell from
the Sky definitely made me want to immediately order her next
book, even before I turned the last page. I am not sure where Ms. Steil has
been hiding all these years, but I am glad I have discovered her at last. I
think I can expect the same exacting precision of writing in her next book. I
cannot wait until The Ambassador's Wife arrives!
