Doctor Seuss, aka Theodor Seuss Geisel, got it right when he wrote Oh, the Places You’ll Go. As a child growing up in the country, seeing the world outside of a book was only a dream.

I remember thinking that if I couldn’t go to Maeve Binchy’s Ireland, her novels would take me there. And they did. I write to remember, to process and to share so you can visit such places.

Reading has drawn me closer to understanding this magnificent God-given world. And I hope the same for you.
