Current Title: Dear Daisy
Hardcover, case bound, 384 pages, nonfiction-spiritual Publisher Rising Sparrow Press $27.95
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, visions, 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.”
"Childhood is nothing more than, absolutely nothing less than, the courage to discover for the first time with innocence and openness, the faith and passion to explore the next, and the inner wisdom to sense the value of each moment along the path."
~ Jane Marla VerDow, Dear Daisy
"A dream of a child from under a cherry tree...
that came to be under an apple tree...
For everything there is a season"
~ Jane Marla VerDow, Rising Sparrow
As the story begins, the author caught in a personal struggle of survival under conditions felt oppressive, writes to Daisy. As the reflective search for self and path unfolds, the 9-11-01 story strikes as a Holy War between extremists of Nations. Before the dust settles, 10-28-01 brings world chaos personal. Living the aftermath, the author struggles to forgive and declares through writing an Epistle as part of her emancipation pathway that violence as a rightful expression and worship of God is not the God of her faith.
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.
In honor of Daisy, Author, Jane Marla VerDow will be donating 10% of all Dear Daisy book sales to Love Is The Answer to assist HIV/AIDS orphaned children of Uganda.
Author, Jane Marla VerDow will be available for Dear Daisy book signings, to answer self and independent publishing pathway questions, and to share print, photo, and video projects Rising Sparrow Press is currently working on these final months of 2010.
