I absolutely loved both the Yellow Crocus and Mustard Seed. I have already purchased your other two books to read next. I found myself getting confused with all the characters in Mustard Seed so I made a list of them and how they are related. I think that would be helpful to include in the book/Audible version. I read thru Audible so maybe this is already in the book? but just thought I'd suggest it. Keep Writing!

Hello Shirley! Thanks for you enthusiasm and support. You are not the only one to ask for a character list for Mustard Seed--so I wrote one that is in the beginning of the novel. It makes sense that it doesn't some through in the audio version. I'm actually working on a companion right now and am finding creative ways to remind people of the relationships between all of the characters. There are a lot of them.

Hello Laila, I am an avid reader and you are one of my favorites already. I love to write myself! I feel you captured the heart of a story with Paper Wife and I cannot put the book down! Oddly, and I have no understanding of this, I feel drawn to Asian stories yet have no interest whatsoever of visiting those countries. Did you do historical research as to marriage customs of Chinese?

Laila Ibrahim:
I listened to half of "Yellow Crocus" on audio and read the rest. As a new mother, I found myself moved to tears by Mattie's experience being separated from infant Samuel. This is such a wonderful book and I was sad to reach its end. As a historical novel, what was the most challenging part of the story to write?
