You can buy an ebook from Apple for 9 dollars and 99 cents.

I was a '60s and '70s child, and whenever I can travel back to those times in fiction, I leap on it. <br />I'm so sorry to hear about your friend and I hope the doctors sort this out and get her on the road to healing soon.

I have been seeing many posts about your novel in the Book community of Instagram. I am excited about reading your novel. Cooking and friendship are wonderful themes in novels.<br /><br />Yes, I remember when the lockdown started because I arrived home from the mystery conference in San Diego to discover that the lockdown was starting! I remember the blue skies because there was no traffic or almost no traffic with the lockdown.<br /><br />DianaBibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764234701385787238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-68376803181242771182022-02-15T15:04:44.483-05:002022-02-15T15:04:44.483-05:00Oh!

It sounds like such a memorable read. And, the 60s is that golden time of growing up for me. Born in 1954, the 60s were important years in my development, taking me from first grade into my sophomore year of high school. Last year I read a book entitled You Cannot Mess This Up, a story of a woman in 2014 who finds herself back in 1978 for 36 hours. She's an adult still, but she gets to see herself as a child and her family as it was at that time. The point is I love reading about the world as it was in my childhood, gaining insights as an outsider looking in. And, the importance of friendship! Yesterday, I visited a friend and took her lunch and a little Valentine gift. She has been in the hospital and is dealing with a rare infection in her lungs, which the doctors are still not sure where it's leading. We hadn't really had a good visit since the pandemic began, and as we sat and talked for two hours, I was so happy for this time together, just enjoying each other's company so much. I love the letters format of your book, Kim, with the women sharing their lives with one another this way. <br /><br />So, good luck with this new book, Kim. I think it will be just the reading I need.Kathy Reelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004247271452356577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-74956007511884654772022-02-15T13:31:49.299-05:002022-02-15T13:31:49.299-05:00The pandemic has been awful and tragic but this en...The pandemic has been awful and tragic but this enforced stop sign led so many people to rediscover important things in their lives . Maybe we have found some "new normal" that means doing what we love to do instead of what we think we must. Thank you for this lovely book. I've just ordered it and on the strength of its origins alone, it may well become my Christmas present for everyone this year.<br /><br />c d moultonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17899545521206329219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-23590276371582490532022-02-15T13:29:42.604-05:002022-02-15T13:29:42.604-05:00and ps Debs, about a month ago I emailed Kim when ...and ps Debs, about a month ago I emailed Kim when I read about her book and asked her to be MY guest.

Until about the late 1980s it was long distance to call between here and the next county, where a couple of his closest friends lived, and they wrote weekly letters to one another. Many were hand-written, but my father-in-law hunt-and-peck typed his and kept the responses via carbons. <br /><br />It was interesting to watch the progression from hand-written/typed/carbons to typed and photocopied, to emails printed out. Eventually, no more copies in the files because the emails are stored on a server. I really think that's too bad for the future, as it will be much harder to piece together lives lived without the daily correspondence in an easy to retrieve form.
