Dear Librarian, The Rossis live in New York in #440 Riverside Drive. I put them there, in my newest book, REMEMBERING MRS. ROSSI. It is about mothers, fathers and daughters, a teacher who dies and her students. It’s about love and people who know a lot about love. There’s a picture on my desk of me (age 8) with my mother. Each day, while I typed, I imagined a little girl sitting beside me. She tells me her name (Annie Rossi), her age (8) and where she lives. In time, she tells me about her mother. Mrs. Rossi was a teacher. (My mother was a teacher, too). Her mother went to the library often. (My mother went often, too). Annie’s mother died. (My mother died, too). Our stories blend. I love to visit libraries (I was once a librarian) to talk about stories and writing. E-mail me (amy@amyhest.com) and I’ll write back.
