Grew Up Without a Mother

Comment:

First off, I am a huge fan of the Alice series. I have not read all of them but I read quite a few of them in middle school. I am in my third year of college and I just read on your blog that there are a bunch more Alice books of yours that I can read.

Thank you for writing these books. I grew up without a mother, so I relate to Alice in so many ways. It was always so comforting to know that someone out there gets it and understands what it is like to face that challenge. Your brilliant mind has changed the lives of so many women young and old.

And the hundreds and hundreds of letters from Alice readers have given me a better understanding of what it’s like to be female, whether we’re ten or twenty or sixty–living here or in Germany or Korea…different cultures in many instances, yet the feelings the same. Best of luck with your third year of college, and thanks for taking time out to write to me.
