"Dear Daisy"


"A dream of a child from under a cherry tree...

that came to be under an apple tree...

For everything there is a season"

~ Jane Marla VerDow, Rising Sparrow



"Childhood is nothing more than, absolutely nothing less than, the courage to discover for the first time with innocence and openness, the faith and passion to explore the next, and the inner wisdom to sense the value of each moment along the path."

~ Jane Marla VerDow, Dear Daisy


In honor of Daisy, Author, Jane Marla VerDow will be donating 10% of all "Dear Daisy" book sales to Love Is The Answer to assist HIV/AIDS orphaned children of Uganda.
