I am half way through When the moon is low and i cant put it down..i feel as though i am living through your characters. It has opened my mind and my heart to the struggles that others have to go through just to feel free. Though your books i find i look at life a little different..i have learned a new respect for the familys that have fought for their freedom and children. will the struggle ever end? thank you

Thank you for reading with such an open heart. I am humbled that this story could bring you a different perspective on life and the struggles of others around the world. There's nothing more I could ask for, truly.
I watch the news with a sadness, thinking of the many individuals who are no different than me. They want to put food on their tables, watch their children laugh and play and sleep without worrying that they will be killed by a missile striking their home. The struggle seems to be unending, abating in one part of the world only to pick up somewhere else. World peace seems like such a fantasy some days, a dream reserved for beauty pageant contestants and hippies. But if we are not at least hoping and working towards it, then humanity is surely lost.
Thanks again for reading and for this thought provoking question.

Fantastic, bravo! In my admittedly stereotypical viewpoint, I expected to read how terrible men are towards women in this culture but sadly, I am taken aback by the women themselves who are just horrendous toward one another; mother-in-laws, sister-in-laws, such lack of grace and kindness; I am haunted by these injustices and the profound absence of sisterhood. Why such a lack of humaneness toward fellow women?
