Reminders Are Everywhere
In my recent travels, I keep seeing reminders of the messages in my new novel Christmas Letters. They pop up and make me smile in the middle of a busy day. My story premise is of a farm family, their military service, community, farm, and the letters they leave behind to enlighten the next generation.
I was in Memory Lane Antique Shop on Rte 44 in Coventry CT when I spied this milk bottle.
Stone Acres is the multi-generational farm owned by the family of Rob Simmons, who wrote the forward for my book. Rob’s family found a suitcase full of WWII letters just before I called to ask about writing the forward. The coincidence is profound!
On another outing a friend and I stopped for lunch at Arrowhead Winery in Franklin CT. We saw this painted rock just outside the door of this dairy barn converted to a winery. The vibrant colors caught my eye. The message about Veterans is such a strong thread in Christmas Letters. Remember to thank the Veterans you meet!
I am so pleased to add Christmas Letters to my family of books. In each book you will find my country living voice, respect for those who work the land, positivity, and hope.
