We're very appreciative! The book can be found for professionals at Follett, and to the trade at BN.com. We are in the midst of changing our site and all the work is being offline which is why the info there is older rather than newer...however, I shall try to throw a temporary page there for you to link to Hi Betsy,

It's a bit unclear in the book. Now do you know a good online site I can link this review to? I want people to have the option of purchasing this book, but I can't find it listed anywhere on your website. Am I just missing it? Good to hear about the “typo”. It’s a bit unclear in the book.

She's a playful sort who has a lot to give and a lot to learn, as so many of us do. Methinks we'll be hearing more from Zoe... The typo to which you refer, being in quotation marks, is something Zoe refers to having heard from her father. Trouble is, he DID say "planned"; she simply didn't hear it. Sometimes we all hear things differently than what we are told, because our state of mind has affected us and we put things into the wrong context. That's all that happened to poor Zoe here. Anyway, we just wanted to clarify that as the joke was quite intentional, and copyeditor approved through galleys, proofs, blueprints, and as a follow up to your review. We thank you again and hope to meet you sometime at the library! peace, - danny and kim Thanks so very much Betsy for the terrific words; we’re thrilled you enjoyed Zoe’s story!
