Alice

I wrote you back when the last Alice book came out. I wanted to send you a copy and have you sign it and you said I could. I never followed through and I was so mad at myself for it. I’m super ecstatic to see that you answer fans regularly through this forum. When the last Alice book came out, I was in college, living on my own, had a serious boyfriend and a steady job. I never related so much to Alice at that time. I was sad the book progressed so quickly away from her college years and young married life. However, I’ve reread the book at 30 and now I relate to the marriage and kids part of her life. And I still love the book just the same. A good author captures you into a book. A great author captures and keeps you coming back for more. You are a great author. There have been so many times in my life that I do things just as Alice would, or find myself trying to live up to her life. As in having a great marriage, being a good mother and having a career. I’ve grown up with her. Reading her first book when I was in elementary school and finishing when I was in college. She is definitely apart of my life. So much so that I planned to name my first daughter after her. Although I was blessed with two boys. LOL
Thank you for writing such a great series. I’ve never been able to find another series I’ve enjoyed as much as yours.

XO,

I’m glad to hear from you, because I remember your letter.  In fact, I kept it on my desk for quite some time to remind myself to watch for a book coming to me for an autograph, and it never came.  I worried that it got lost in the mail and that you would always wonder why I didn’t sign it for you.  I confess to  you that the reason I wrote so little about Alice’s college years is because I never had that experience as a single girl.  I married at 18, right out of high school, and though I continued my education and eventually received my degree, it was as a married woman.  In fact, I was a nursing mother when my first son was born (I have two boys also) and attended many classes with milk leaking through my blouse.  Thanks for getting in touch with me, and enjoy those boys!
