Your Thoughts
Well, the book was released a month early. I don't know why.
I am so gratified by what you're all saying about "By Morning's Light". So many of you who've been so kind as to buy the book and read it tell me you cannot put it down! You tell me that it makes you cry then it makes you laugh and then it makes you cry and laugh again. That's what it is supposed to do.
I'm hoping it will reach everyone who needs it, everyone it can help and it's for anyone who's struggling with a loss. And anyone who cares about someone struggling. Please help me reach out by writing a review on Amazon.com By Morning's Light.
Or http://.amazon.com/By-Morning's-Light-Reconnection-hereafter/ and go to Reviews. Just a line or two would be wonderful.
The writing of this book and the whole process of grieving has been a roller coaster of emotions. But for anyone who is afraid to read it because you think it's going to be too sad - don't be. Drew was happy, loving, funny and full of life. There's no way I could have written a sorrowful, dragging, tearful story about him. He was and is a vital life force. And whereas I haven't disguised the sadness - it is a part of the story - I haven't dropped the book's tone into an abyss of grief. Never! Drew wouldn't have it!
Keep reading. And please know that I thank you with all my heart.

Another Coincidence?
As you know, I don't believe in coincidences. I mean come on! When they come in droves and they stack up on a bed of synchronicity ... there's something else going on.
Of course anything is possible, if you ask me - and it's possible that my publisher Llewellyn Worldwide moved heaven and earth to get my book released over the Mother's Day weekend. Shook everything up, shuffled things around to have it in my hands on Mother's Day. You think? This is a mega-publisher! They can't arrange such niceties. Even if my editor would really like that. No. I see the hand of Drew in this. Just the way he arranges for his friends to call me, to stop by - or sends orchids through one of them on Valentine's Day. Boys don't usually think of these things all by themselves... Do they?
I've been busy over the last few days, mailing copies to friends, signing copies for them and others and just as things were calming down a bit, my phone rang. It was a very close friend of Drew's and he said, "Did you call me?" No, I didn't. "Yes you did - this is Drew's Mom, right?" Yes it is. "Well, your phone just called me!" Really. "By the way, I've been busy but been meaning to ask you about the book you were writing ..."
I told him it was released that weekend and asked him if he'd like a copy. He would. Of courses he would. And Drew was reminding me to get him one.
Or was it a coincidence! This stuff is so much fun!

The Book is out. I couldn't find it in all the bookstores yet, but both Llewellyn and Amazon have shipped the advance orders. The bookstores tell me they have it in their ware houses - soon to be on the shelves.
Thank you to all my friends who ordered the books. I hope you LOVE it! And I hope you will recommend it to anyone who you think might benefit from reading it.
Drew's message was to share it: To let everyone know that there is no death. We transition to something totally fascinating.
Love,
Ginny
