About the author

Born in 1971, I am a third-generation native Arizonan. My grandfather’s family arrived here from Missouri in 1912, just after Arizona became a state. Thanks to his stories and those of my other family members, I know how Arizona used to be and how it is today.

I have lived in and around Phoenix for most of my life, and I still wonder from time to time why anyone would choose to move here. Lately, though, I’ve looked around my hometown and realized that the most fascinating part of Phoenix is how willingly we adopt the strangers who, for one reason or another, choose to settle here. Surrounded by prickly saguaros, beaten down by the glaring sun, we gather here and choose our friends with no regard to their ethnic backgrounds or what neighborhood they grew up in.

Wow. This book, like all of Susan Bennett's, made me think. Would I try and change my life if I could send myself an email in the future? I applaud you on this topic! I felt for Diana and wondered what she was looking for...what would classify to her as a happy life. Loved the references to Ms. Bennett's other works (Please please please let them really make a movie of The Prophet's Wives!). Fantastic read as always...Susan Bennett is an unappreciated author
