Tony Roma’s Benefit for United Through Reading with San Diego Writing Women
To celebrate their 25th Anniversary, Tony Roma’s in Pacific Beach (4110 Mission Blvd) will donate 15% of the proceeds from this night to United Through Reading. Eat at Tony Roma’s, meet some authors (I’ll be there 5-7), and help support a great cause! No flyer needed; get a wristband when you walk through the door so your purchase will count.
About United Through Reading: “Our mission is to unite military families facing physical separation by facilitating the bonding experience of reading aloud together. United Through Reading is the nation’s first nonprofit to promote the read-aloud experience for separated military families. United Through Reading offers deployed parents the opportunity to be video-recorded reading storybooks to their children which eases the stress of separation, maintains positive emotional connections and cultivates a love of reading.”

Hi,
My book group is discussing your book on Thursday, Aug. 18. I know my members will ask me if you have another book in the works. Would you care to share any future plans with us?
Thank you!

Hi Noreen…
Here’s the next book info.
Thanks for reading!
Thirty-six year old Gal Garner lives a regimented life. Her job teaching biology and her struggle with kidney disease keep her toggling between the high school, the hospital, and home
on strict schedule. Only at home, in her gardens, does Gal come alive. But even her passion, rose breeding, has a tangible and highly structured goal: Gal wants to create a new breed of rose, win Queen of
Show in a major competition, and bring that rose to market…
Then one afternoon Gal’s niece Riley, the daughter of her estranged sister, arrives.
Unannounced. And their lives will never be the same…

I can’t thank you enough for this book. My Aunt Hisako was always a sort of mystery to me growing up. She had married a serviceman and moved to America with him after the war, and I was told not to ask her about her life before she came here, because it would be too painful. I’m not sure if anyone ever asked her how she felt about that. I feel that I now at least have some frame of reference to help me understand who she was.
