What a thrill to feel like I'm actually there with the rest of "our family"

"I'm fascinated with your book [Cajun By Any Other Name]. I feel like I know all those places you speak of.  Must be because I've driven so often to Massachusetts and feel that the route all the way to Louisiana must be of the same type and conditions, so it makes me feel as though I know that whole route by now.

"When I'm reading your book, I feel as though I'm sitting in the front passenger seat of your car as you are driving down all those little lanes in the countryside. It's a very powerful feeling which comes over me as soon as I open your book - makes me feel as though I'm just coming home after a space of  several years away. I must be the reincarnated descendant of some of those Acadians who settled in Louisiana in the 1700s!

"I love the story and you wrote it so well that I feel like I'm actually there with our people. I'm going through it more slowly than usual, because I want to be sure I don't miss a thing. Sometimes I even read a page twice and try to picture those places and events with my own imagination. What a thrill to feel like I'm actually there with the rest of "our family," playing in the fields, picking berries, and running the lanes with you!

"I hope you write more books of this nature.  I'll be a good customer!"
