For "Secrets of a Charmed Life", my F2F bookclub had two questions come up: 1. Where did the idea for the Bride's Box come from? 2. Was there anything removed or changed in the book during the editing process that you wish hadn't happened? Cheers

Hi Karen: I know your club had long since met and I apologize for not seeing this question until today. So very sorry. You can pass this along to your club members if you wish! When I started plotting this book I just saw a London teenager sitting in colorless flat on the East End drawing wedding dresses. I started asking questions about what this girl wanted out of life and how the war was going to change her and why she was sketching bridal gowns instead of landscapes. All of the answers became the backbone of the book. There weren't significant changes in the editing process except for a needed tightening of Emmy's relationship with her mother. Thanks for asking and again, my apologies for having missed this.

I am not sure why I was denied access to your new book on netgalley but I was wondering if I could get an ARC hard copy? I teach at a Jewish day school and have a lending library for the teachers in my school. I review the books I read and would definitely post a review for you. Let me know if this is possible. Thanks, Marilyn
