Hi Ellery, I wanted to tell you how much I loved The Secret, Book & Scone Society! I fell in love with Nora, Hester, June and Estella! I so appreciate the premise that we all carry secrets that help form who we are, but that they don't have to trap and define us, also that there is great comfort in being truly known. Did you by any chance study psychology? Thank you for a wonderful book!

Hi Diane,
I am so glad that the main theme of this novel moved you. You truly picked up on all the nuances. I did not study psychology, but I have been in therapy and the experience has given me more empathy and insight into human nature than I had before some major things went sideways for me. I am in a better place now, but I am able to see other people in pain and know that their journey to healing won't be easy, but it's doable. Especially with the help of loved ones or friends. I find it refreshing to read about flawed characters. I can better identify with them and I am super grateful that you connected with the women of Miracle Springs. Happy reading!

I've been reading the Secret, Bone, and Book Society books (excited for the third one!), and I notice some of the characters share names of famous literary characters and that they share similar stories of those characters. Hester (Hester Prynne), Estella (Estella Havisham), Vanessa Macavity...). Are all the characters so strategically named? I couldn't find much about Nora or Jedidiah, so I was curious. Thanks!
