I guess it is a small world! Chances are I know your cousins, Big Rapids isn't very large. Where are you residing these days?

Hi Suzanne. Thanks for adding me as a friend. When I picked up Love You to Pieces and added it to my list, I noted all the great books you have on your list. Having lived in Japan from 1986-89, I'm always on the hunt for great literature about Japan or Asia, and you're a great resource! I'm also enjoying your blog (and I also love Vicki Forman's writing as well).
Cheers!

Marie
