Emily I was wondering if you can autograph your book called if you find me and send it in the mail for me please
Ms. Murdoch,PLEASE consider writing a sequel to If You Find Me! I must find out what happened to these characters. I find your own story very inspiring and am so glad that you shared it. You will touch many lives with your novel. Thank you for being an inspiration to me and I'm sure to others!

All I can say, for now, is : ).
And, that I smiled to see you.

Thanks for accepting my friend request. If You Find Me is an amazing book.
Thanks for accepting! : )Gotta love Gilbert Blythe. Who says healthy love interests have to be boring? I'd take true emotion and all its already-interesting tangles over abusive dynamics and mind games, any day.
And thanks for all the reviews you write. I love reading them.
Have a great summer!
