Daisy Comes Home

Spring Tour

      This spring I'll be visiting 30 cities and towns on tour for my new book, Daisy Comes Home.  For the research,  I traveled with my husband and my daughter-in-law, Yun, and her husband, Sean, to China, the land where Yun was born.  As we sailed down the Li river in the Guang Xi Province, I was reminded of a favorite story from childhood, The Story of Ping.  There were the cormorants, and the fisherman.  But what made a lasting impression was the river itself, with mountains in unusual shapes towering above and small villages along the way with their colorful markets and brightly dressed children.
     I would love to meet you and tell you a few more tidbits about my new book.  Sometimes booksignings are very busy.  Please call the bookstore to find out all of the details about our party.  I hope that you'll plan to arrive early.
