Wow. Thank you so much for the terrific ...Suzanne,<br /><br />Wow. Thank you so much for the terrific review. You've made my day. And yes, we certainly were naive. Our cluelessness amazes even me now!<br /><br />I felt it was important to emphasize this truth, even if I do not come out looking terribly good. There are books out there right now about people who just take off to foreign lands to find themselves -- perhaps, say, by eating a lot of pasta or renovating a villa -- where they simply triumph! I wanted to tell another side of the story -- a sort of cautionary tale.<br /><br />Anyway, since it is a true story, I'd be interested to hear from readers if they saw the ending come. Let me know! You can contact me through www.susanjanegilman.com<br /><br />Thanks so much for reading.Susan Jane Gilmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11940788589373548580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5447574405650512339.post-58724037713191461312010-03-01T07:15:12.262-05:002010-03-01T07:15:12.262-05:00Hi Harvee!
