After I completed my second novel, SHE'S LIKE A RAINBOW, someone who was helping me to promote the book asked me what my Mission Statement was. Surprisingly, I did not have to think about it for a very long time. My answer came spontaneously. My statement:

Another great book from one of my favorite authors.

Some readers have complained that WHISTLER is too sentimental, too “quiet.” But I found the quiet nature of the story to be one of its strengths.

I read several interviews with Ann Patchett talking a

Henry David Thoreau
“The finest qualities of our nature, like the bloom on fruits, can be preserved only by the most delicate handling. Yet we do not treat ourselves nor one another thus tenderly.”
― Henry David Thoreau

Langston Hughes
“Hold fast to dreams,
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird,
That cannot fly.”
― Langston Hughes

Edmund Wilson
“No two persons ever read the same book.”
― Edmund Wilson

Harper Lee
“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.”
― Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

Albert Camus
“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.

And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.”
― Albert Camus

Kathy Hi Eileen. Thanks for the friend request. What an interesting person you are. Living in Morocco, wow! Strings of the Lute sounds like a great story. I have added it to my "to read" list. I look forward to conversing with you.


Eileen Hi Bonnie,
Happy to meet you! Lol, the house trade idea is tempting. The farthest "west" I've been in the US is Indiana (and I don't think that counts :)
Take care,
Eileen
