Dear Enise,

What a lovely thing to say! Thank you very much for taking the time to let me know the book – and the acknowledgement- has made a positive difference to you. Another reader mentioned that line to me a few months ago, but she wasn’t so happy about it. Sadly, women’s rights, it seems, are not held in such high regard by all members of our gender. I hope you enjoy future books in the series too.

All the best
Fiona

But what I want to comment is your acknowledgement of “the brave women of the 1960s and 1970s who made such strides forward for equal rights for women.” As I was one of those women it pleases me to see the wide success of following generations and to have my/our efforts acknowledged. It was a powerfully, exciting and wonderful time as we set up a women’s centre and transition house in Vernon, British Columbia, Canada. Thank you for recognizing the efforts of so many women who helped open the doors of choice to following generations.
