Oh man, Patti . . . I had never even heard of Barbara Newhall Follett! I had to look her up and what a fascinating story. If this is what you had to cut, I can't imagine how wonderful your book will be!

How wonderful! Taking the typewriter and using it in another beautiful way- I miss the sound of my 1st typewriter (I think it was a Corona.) Can't wait for this story!!

Patti- if this is what was "cut", I can't wait to see what is actually in the book! Can't wait to see you in Raleigh or Fearrington with Beth F!

I love that Barbara interprets the typewriter for music. Also the feel of the grape jelly bursting in her mouth!

Already pre-ordered on Audible - will definitely get the book too! How much better can it be - outstanding intro to all you cut - that must have hurt ….but you obviously found that much more to draw us readers in. 😊 Thanks for sharing with us!❤️
