The Loss of a Mother

Phyllis,

 

I’d like to thank you for your wonderful series. I started reading them as an awkward 10-year-old, and now I’m a slightly less awkward 22-year-old patiently awaiting the next installment. Mostly, I’d like to thank you for your books portrayl of the loss of a mother and its effect on a young girl. My 13-year-old sister and I just lost our mom, and I gave her my Alice books to read as a type of solace of shared experience.

 

Thanks for writing, I can’t wait to continue reading!

I feel very honored that you passed your books along to your sister.  I’m so terribly sorry about your mom.  That must be one of the most difficult things to go through.  I’m glad you two girls have each other.
