Kristin Henry asked Jamie Ford:

Hi! I am so disappointed to miss my local bookseller's discussion of The Many Daughters of Afong Moy tonight, which I believe you are going to be a part of. I was wondering if you have notes posted for this book? I have been working to understand nervous system development (The Body Keeps the Score sits on my pile of books to read), and I very much enjoyed this take!

Jamie Ford Hi Kristin, we had a lively conversation last night!

I do have tons of notes, but I'm afraid they're only decipherable by me. By that I mean, I'll have a page of notes, then a recipe for Chicken Marsala in the margins, then a reminder to pick up meds for my dog, then notes that I don't even remember what they were for...all in my vaguely legible handwriting.

I'd love to publish and annotated edition, with notes in the margins explaining certain details and the history and thinking behind those bits. Someday...
