A nonfiction, spiritual memoir, “Dear Daisy” is the storyteller's journal recording footsteps on her life path from days long ago shared with her friend, Daisy (1960's) to the 911 aftermath. Sharing humor, visions, dreams, heartbreaks and challenges, Jane Marla VerDow has written a compelling account that both entertains and challenges one's soulful reflection.

Daisy, an Angel on Earth years later mystically reappears an Angel from Heaven to guide the grown child on her pathway back Home. “Dear Daisy” is dedicated by the author to Daisy whose warmth taught her love, whose gift of patience taught to to search for patience with others, and whose soul taught her strength equal to compassion.

Seth C. Burgess Said,
I'm reading Dear Daisy right now. From the start, Jane's writing style challenges the reader to really, really put themselves in the shoes of "little Janie". The words flow as if written by the author's thoughts themselves, not by hand. Very interesting approach, different, and actually quite refreshing.
The book's presentation itself is beautiful--hardcover with gold-lettering. I love a print that will look nice in my glass-pane built-ins!
