Why was Aiken, SC chosen for the present day of Before We Were Yours? I’m very curious about this since Aiken is my home town! Thank you.

I'm sorry to take so long. I guess I missed seeing this. I've been to Aiken numerous times. Once to do a presentation for American Assoc. Of University Women, and several times to visit my reader-friend. He is a sweet gentleman, who likes to stay unnamed. He wrote me years ago after picking up one of my novels and enjoying it. He was retired an offered to help me with any technical issues or helping to spread the word about my books. He was my major consultant about J.Norman's space age career in Dandelion Summer.
I think Aiken is a lovely town with that southern feeling, a famous senator comes from there, and I just thought it would be perfect for the Stafford family.

Hi Lisa, Who do I contact for permissions to quote a sentence from Before We Were Yours? I have written a memoir that deals with my aunt finding out that she was born under the Lebensborn program. In my book, I refer to a statement one of the characters made that justified all the emotional turmoil: "the best thing is to know… to know who you is." Thanks, Maddie
