Martha

Martha asked Celeste Fletcher McHale:

No question to ask?....Really enjoyed listening to this audio book. I am a 2 year breast cancer survivor and its still hard to swallow anything that is cancer related but I'm so thankful that I was given the opportunity to share my experience with others that are affected by any type of cancer. I actually was balling on my way to work as I listened to that tragic moment. I am recommending to all my reading friends.

Celeste Fletcher McHale Oh, Martha, I am so sorry you had to deal with cancer, and so thankful you are a survivor! My sister had lymphoma and has been cancer free nearly nine years now. She told me the other day how much it had changed her outlook on life. I am sure that is true for you, as well.

I am so glad you enjoyed the book and although I hate you cried, I am also pleased that it touched you. Hummingbird is based on a true story and I will miss my friend for the rest of my life.

If you get a chance, check out my new book that just released, The Sweet Smell of Magnolias & Memories. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me!

Wanda asked Celeste Fletcher McHale:

No question but just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your book. Being a "Girl Raised in the South", I easily identified with the small town environment and the hospitality and friendship. I, too, lost a dear friend to cancer and your book brought back the bittersweet memories in a positive way. I so hope there will be more?

Just finished your book and was wondering when you'll have another one ready? Yes, I cried during the last few chapter. And yes, I got aggravated, sometimes, with some of the main characters, but it really turned out o.k. Loved "The Secret to Hummingbird Cake!"
