THE book, Heart in the Right Place, a moving and hilarious account of a spoiled, high-powered Washington lawyer (me) who is forced to leave her job at the Senate and come back home to the Smoky Mountains to work as an unpaid and inept receptionist in her father’s tiny medical office, has won raves from Publishers Weekly (a starred review from the publishing industry’s most respected insiders), Booklist, BookPage, and More Magazine.
It won the Reader’s Prize for August from Elle Magazine, and was chosen as the FIRST EVER Book of the Month by Family Circle Magazine for their brand new book club (see it in the July issue on the stands now).
Book Sense, the national association of independent book stores just named Heart in the Right Place as its Number 1 Recommended non-fiction book!
It is a Book Sense Pick (the Indepdent Booksellers Association) and was chosen by these book clubs as well: The Literary Guild, Doubleday, American Compass, Satellite Sisters Radio, Pulpwood Queens, and DearReader.com. Dolly Parton and Fannie Flagg love it, too!
So far your webmaster has been on nearly 30 international, national, and regional radio shows — and in lots of newspapers and magazines. But she still loads your photos and answers your emails one at a time. : )
