I recently received an email from a parent I would like to share with you. The note is as follows:
Hello Carole,
I hope this isn't too forward, but I'm writing to ask a favor. My daughter, Meghan, has recently been given an assignment to write about a turning point in her life. She loves writing, reads nearly everything she can get her hands on, and wants to become an author. She told me that she made this decision 4 years ago, when she heard you speak to her third grade class in DeForest, and was introduced to your book "Secrets Inside Bington Manor". She read it, and has been hooked on reading and writing ever since. I was hoping that you could perhaps write her a little message and personally autograph a copy of the book for her. It would really mean a lot, since it (and you) are the source of her inspiration. I work in Madison (I'm a teacher at Madison East High School). If I were to buy a copy, would it be possible for us to meet so I could get you to sign it for her? If you no longer reside in or around Madison, I could also mail a copy and include return postage. I'm sure you are very busy, but thank you so much for your consideration.
