The Midwife of Venice by Roberta Rich

Thank you Melissa for hosting a great evening at Queen Margarita Pizza. Everyone who attended will have lunch figured out for today. Mmm...pizza. Laura's discussion covered a lot of ground from medical ethics to who gives blood and why. I really appreciate how well researched the members of our book club are. The supplementary information was just as fascinating. We learned how Skloot put the book together, Oprah is making a film from the book.

I could not get Shilipi to skpe with us. I sent her another email mentioning that she could choose the date and never heard back from her. This was not my first choice in book picks for I went in another direction.

Hello Carolyn,

Thank you so much for your message. I'm delighted to hear that you book club has chosen SECRET DAUGHTER for your upcoming meeting and am very flattered by your invitation. Unfortunately, I will be unable to join you via Skype because of conflicts with the release of my US paperback that same week. I do hope your group has a great discussion and please send them my best wishes.

Best,

Shilpi
