Frances O'Roark Dowell

I recently purchased the book "Where I'd Like To Be" by Frances O'Roark Dowell at a thrift store for my daughters to read. Olivia and I began reading together a few nights ago. Together meaning, she has her book and I have mine and we read for about half an hour or so. Quiet time. I'm hoping to get Autumn involved in this reading time as well, I'd love for Caleb to join us but I konw that would be like pulling teeth! Or I should say, pulling teeth would be easier! Anyhow, Olivia has really gotten into this book and is interested in other books by this author. I found her website http://francesdowell.com/ which includes a list of all her books, frequently asked questions,what inspires her to write and a section that tells all about her. She's a very interesting person and wonderful writer. Olivia is already planning to hurry up and finish this book so we can go to Barnes and Noble to buy Dovey Coe!
