What readers are saying about Dear Daisy:
"I am reading "Dear Daisy" right now. From the start, Jane's writing style challenges the reader to really put themselves in the shoes of "little Janie". The words flow as if written by the author's thoughts themselves, not by hand. Very interesting approach, different, and actually quite refreshing.
The book's presentation itself is beautiful-hardcover with gold lettering. I love a print that will look nice in my glass pane built ins!" ~Seth C. Burgess/Wayne County Life
"Something about the way you make words into thought patterns, almost as if I were thinking them instead of reading them. They just seem to float effortlessly off the page. Beautiful." ~Armelle/France
