I just received the email below from a woman in my Tai Chi group. As a profession she has been an educator until her retirement. She did post a review on amazon.com as well. It makes one feel so gratified to receive such a nice message. It makes me proud that I wrote a novel, got it published and have received several nice reviews. I’m anxious for the printed version to come out mid-summer.
This provides me with the incentive to get going on my next book. I’m about 30 pages into it. It is slow going because of the required research. Yes, writing is hard work.
Hi Ron,
Just finished reading your book. I have a heightened awareness about the discriminating life issues that bi-racial people face especially in Korea. It is amazing how cultures clash in such a heartless way. You brought out the complexities that families deal with as they face the challenge of past relationships…what they knew and did not know about it. People are people…with human needs that are met one way or another. This story demonstrates that indeed love triumphs.
When people read this book, it will promote an understanding, compassion and an openness to diversity which will help to make this world more peaceful, inclusive, less biased and unjust, and eliminate hate…very powerful! Congrats on writing your first book.
With much respect, Jan
PS I liked Maryanne’s last name!
