My Mother, My Hero
Do you keep a diary and/or like reading diary novels? I just wrote an essay on some reasons my debut novel, LILLI DE JONG, forthcoming tomorrow from Nan A. Talese/Doubleday, is in the form of a diary. Read this essay, just published on the book blog Read Her Like an Open Book (with thanks to blogger Bill Wolfe).

LAST DAY FOR VOTING! Please make LILLI DE JONG a finalist for Best Historical Fiction on Goodreads
Dear readers,
What a thrill it was to learn that LILLI DE JONG, my debut novel and the labor of a decade of my life, is a semifinalist for the Choice Award in Historical Fiction. Won't you please give your vote to this novel, which highlights the power of a mother's love and the bonds between mothers and infants? It's not every day that a novel gives voice to an unwed mother and shows the hard, vital work of all mothers.
Thank you so much for loving books and taking care of their authors. With warm regards, Janet Benton
