She read a book that I recommended and then started going through and pulling books from my shelves to take back to school with her next month. Wow!<br /><br />My mother talked about Daphne du Maurier. I had no idea who the author was until much later, and I laughed when I realized what genre this erudite woman picked for pleasure. I've never told my sister, who isn't a reader. Some fun much be kept among readers. <br /><br />I'm glad of your mother's influence. My mother knew I could write. But didn't know that I wanted to write full-time before she died. She wouldn't be at all shocked. What I want to know? Is it nurture or nature?<br /><br />Your writing is a nice tribute to your mom.E. B.
