Hi Shelly,
I read Morningsong while we were in Myrtle Beach last week. It was awesome! What a gift you have. I’ve given a copy to Heidi and mine will go to Tiff who will devour it also no doubt. So, will there be a sequel to this one? I’m anxious to see your next book regarding our words and thoughts. I’m sure it will challenge me and teach me as well. Congratulations Grandma! :> We love Danielito in Mexico as much as our own Lucas here in Ohio. What a blessing and treat! Any chance you’ll be coming thru Ohio anytime soon?
