Hilary's Friend Comments

Hilary - Are you currently writing a new novel? I read and LOVED "Anthropology of An American Girl" last year and hope to read more from you. I have a Kindle but loved it so much I bought a hard bound book as well and highlighted all my favorite passages. Our entire book club keeps re-discussing the book and casting the actors we see playing the different parts if it were ever to become a movie. We hope to hear more from you and your characters. Best, Sarah

Yes, it is funny about the middle name part. I also want to know more about ancestry. There are books on the Thayer family in the NY Public library. Very cool.

Oh, interesting. Now I will have to find out more about my side of the family; I know it was a family name on my father's mother's side and was given to me to honor my grandmother...but I know little else.
Am in Mass., in the Berkshires.
Interesting that your children have it as a middle name too!

Hey, how are you!? Yes, it is a family name. It is my mother's grandmother's name. She was Edith Thayer from Rutland, Vermont. Her father was Asa Thayer and her mother was Carrie White. Each of my three kids has it as a middle name. We are in LI, NY. Where are you? New England?
Pleased to meet you too.

Hilary,
your middle name is the same as mine (and my son's as well).
Is it a family name?
Pleased to meet you!
