Just saw that another blog I read InJenniesKitchen just referenced that she was reading an amazing book – The Forgotten Gift and with a link included to Amazon!! This is big news. She has a huge audience. I’m hoping this really boosts your book sales. Was so excited to see esp. as I just loved Susan’s book. Keep up the good fight.

I thoroughly enjoyed and agree that it did leave the story with enough of a resolution. Knowing some of the backstory, I could see some characters reflected in the book. I can also see the progression of her writing as her fight progressed. I found the book so enjoyable I actually had to finish it while I was on the trainer. I couldn’t put it down. You can definitely mark that one down as promise fulfilled.

First comment after a long time of lurking, and couldn’t think of a better post to respond to!

kindle copy ordered for 11 yr old daughter, and she’s already read the foreword and asking intelligent questions about it.

Trying to explain the backstory to her is difficult, but well worthwhile as your commitment to Susan and to your son shines through.

well done!

davidh, thanks for the notice that Hyatt Place is filling up…just made our room reservation…only 8 rooms left w/ a King bed, and 1 w/ 2 Queens…for those wanting a Hyatt Place room (it’s THE place to stay!), here’s a link to quickly get you there (and you’ll get the LIVESTRONG rate too):

I believe the 'yakking' is centered around a Mr Chapek (which one we won't say>, but SteveB, we look forward to seeing you this year, it is FUN. It's never too early to talk FOOD! My thoughts are a CalMex theme (not Texmex) so we can have a master's class in guacamole. Lighter, fresher, and lots of grilled vegetables for Mr. Zeeter, and my daughter, on the vegetarian side. And of course guac. Margaritas anyone? I also have a cake or two in mind. Get those reservations in, Hyatt Place is fast filling from what I found this week. See you all there!

@SteveB…we have pie AFTER our ride on Sunday thanks to davidh…(that’s turned into our Team Fatty haka…”WE WANT PIE”!) Basicly Davis is an entire weekend of awesomeness. Thanks to Angie we OWN the cycling hall of fame on Fri evening…last year davidh brought ‘brats’ and Angie brings a ton of other stuff…and it’s a feast/party. And THEN we get the private tour of the HoF! Sat is schmooze around LiveStrong village expo/booths, and there is also a farmers market RIGHT THERE at the village! NOBODY can come away empty from that I tell you! And you are correct…the Awards Banquet is Sat evening, typically most of the team goes). And Sun is the ride, and then we hang out after yakking and eatin’ pie. I look forward to this weekend all year!

@SteveB Friday night is usually our Cycling Hall of Fame get together. I’m not sure if this is the year they are installing Fatty or next, but I’m confident it’s on their agenda. ….or is that inducting?

I just finished Susan’s book! What an amazing development of story and characters and voice! I hope you can channel her and find the inspiration to finish what she started!
