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

"It took me six days to read it. It will take me a lifetime to understand." ~Frank (Beekeeper)/Rochester

"Dear Daisy is a mesmerizing account of Jane's early years growing up with Daisy, the person who most touched her life while growing up on her family farm" ~Nanette P. Hance/Artisan's Loft, The Landing at Pultneyville

A nonfiction, spiritual memoir, Dear Daisy is the storyteller's journal recording footsteps on her life path from days long ago shared with her friend, Daisy (1960's) to the 911 aftermath. Sharing humor, vision, dreams, heartbreaks and challenges, Jane Marla VerDow has written a compelling account that both entertains and challenges one's soulful reflection. Written in a unique style the author refers to as "language layers", Dear Daisy has been described by readers as "enchanting", " profoundly written", and "courageous."

Born and raised on a fruit farm in Williamson, Jane is a storyteller by nature inspired by local stories, history, and nature's mysteries and gifts. The author invites the reader into the world and relationship between an illiterate migrant woman sharing her wisdom with a boss man’s child under cherry and apple trees during the early 1960's. Daisy, an Angel on Earth years later mystically reappears an Angel from Heaven to guide the grown child on her pathway back Home. Dear Daisy is dedicated by the author to her friend,Daisy whose warmth taught her love, whose gift of patience taught her to search for patience with others, and whose soul taught her strength equal to compassion.

Dear Daisy is the author's first novel inspired by and dedicated to her "adopted Grandmother". Recent years she has devoted her time to writing nonfiction and publishing her works through Rising Sparrow Press, established 2003 by the author in the spirit and tradition of Early American Literature. Hardcover bound, 384 pages, Dear Daisy was designed by Rising Sparrow Press to reflect a book of the era in pre dustcover style, book layout, short storytelling format, time era language and values.
