Dear Reader, THE LOVE CEILING was inspired by my interest in exploring the pull many women feel between family and creative self-expression, and wishing there were more books about older women! Meet 64 year-old Anne Kuroda Duppstaad, who after the death of her Japanese American mother, finally finds the courage to confront the toxic legacy of her father, a famous artist and cruel narcissist, to begin pursuing her life-long dream to become an artist in her own right. For the epigraph, I chose Anais Nin's words: "Then the time came when the risk it took to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." THE LOVE CEILING is a coming of age novel for women over 50...60...70...80...90...! I love call-ins with bookclubs, and to enter a drawing to win THE LOVE CEILING, please go to www.jeandaviesokimoto.com. Thanks, and all good wishes! Jeanie |
