Donna’s Blog: Writing to Heal

Your Advice?

opening up The Last Best Cure
What pages in THE LAST BEST CURE have you underlining, laughing, getting out the tissues? I'll take votes and read the most popular sections on my tour!

I know THE LAST BEST CURE has only been out for a week but some of you have (so sweetly!) already emailed to tell me you’ve read cover to cover with highlighter and sticky notes in hand, and are buying a copy for a friend or family member who you think “needs it.” You’ve told me that you’ve laughed and you’ve cried (which, of course, brings tears to my eyes).

In 3 days I begin giving readings in bookstores. And I have a favor to ask. I’d love it if you would post a quick response here on my blog or on my Facebook fan page and tell me the pages or chapters of the book that spoke to you the most (don’t give any of the storyline away though, we don’t want any spoilers!)

What pages made you underline, or laugh out loud, or get out the Kleenex?

When I see what pages get the most “votes” I’ll add those to my upcoming book readings!

Oh, and, if you have a suggestion for a bookstore that hosts author readings — for now I’m traveling close to home — inWashington DC, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut — let me know and I’ll see about weaving them into the tour!

While I feel deeply called to extend love and compassion to others, I’ve come to an important realization: I deserve…
