Oh Allison, I just want to reach out and give you a big hug! You have been through quite an ordeal with your husband's illness, not to mention, being pregnant at the time, and then having a new born baby right in the middle of your husband's recovery. You must have an incredible level fortitude and internal strength. I can tell you without a doubt that you will make numerous author to reader connections regarding your personal story during your husband's illness and recovery. You already write with such talent, and emotion in your fiction books, I am positive your personal story will connect with all your readers tenfold! You certainly connected with this reader (me) on many levels of emotion in both your Sisi books. I look forward to reading all your future books, with great enthusiasm, but most especially your memoir. On a side note, regarding the co-authored book you wrote with your brother about the French Revolution. I am getting my Masters in Modern European History, with focus on Irish history. At this time, I am in my second year of the program at PC (Providence College), and I have recently read quite a few books about the French Revolution, which is not an easy topic to take on, fiction or nonfiction. So, I cannot wait to read your new historical fiction on that very dramatic time in European history as well.
