Kathy Manns055 asked Susie Finkbeiner:

You are a wonderful find for this reader! I am now reading the last book in the Pearl Spence trilogy. Gosh, I love Pearl! The series is so well written and has so much heart. Kudos to you! Any chance you might do a series regarding the grown up Pearl?

Susie Finkbeiner Hi, Kate! It's so nice to hear from you.

I hope you know how encouraging it is to me that you love Pearl. She's a special part of my life and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to write her over the course of four years.

As of now, I don't have any plans to continue Pearl's story. When I wrote the last scene of A Song of Home I knew that I wanted to leave her in a place of innocence, even after all she'd endured. I just didn't have the heart to make her live through World War II.

That being said, I'm not one to say "never will I ever". If another story for Pearl pops into my head, I'll be sure to write it. It would be a joy to spend time with her as an adult.

I hope you have a wonderful day. Thank you for reading and embracing Pearl. It means more than I can express to know that you love her as much as I do.
