This was a labor of love that took over a year to compile, because she sent me letters for a year, but nothing was in chronological order. As I read about the unimaginable hardships she endured, I realized she had a book! She asked me to write it, and here we are. It is her story, not mine, therefore the writing itself is AS TOLD TO. <br />I am pitching MY book at the MO. Writer's Guild Conference in spring. Are you attending? great line up of speakers.Linda O'Connellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15982895073903619018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-78902288521317802582010-09-10T23:10:51.273-05:002010-09-10T23:10:51.273-05:00Susan,

I wrote this book, not for myself, but for this eighty-four year old woman who wanted to pass on her legacy to her heirs, friends and members of her senior group.
