I loved The Fall of Marigolds which I just completed. interesting that the word fall in the title has several references both to the season of autumn(9-11: Clara's visit to NY: Taryn's visit with Mrs. Stauer) as well as the fall from the towers and fire. I need to ask if Eleanor is the woman to whom Clara gave the trunk? Again, I loved the book which was recommended to me by 2 friends. mboerio@cinci..rr.com

Hi, Marilyn! Sorry you had to wait so long for me to answer. I'm still figuring out how to manage my Goodreads Author page. I apologize for missing this. Yes, autumn is used throughout this book as a metaphor for change. I'm glad you picked up on it! The trunk was given to an anonymous woman, not the maid from Scotland. But that's a lovely thought! Thanks so much for loving the book! Happy Holidays, my friend...

Susan, Not really a? Today I received an email allowing me to enter for a giveaway of your terrific book The Last Year of the War. I did not enter it because I recently won your book from a previous giveaway. I have not yet finished it or reviewed it though. Thank you so much for choosing me as a recipient of your book. Maggie

Mrs. Meissner. I have read two of your books. I Love the stories. In both stories there are characters with additional needs. One with what sounds like Autism. It makes me wonder if you have a person in your life with a developmental "disability"? I have a son with Down syndrome and Autism. You present them as the wonderful people they are truly. God Blessed our family with a new perception on the gift we have.
