Every Mothers Dream, by Paula Rose Michelson

Once in a very great while, I find myself living what seems like a dream for I know children seldom give their mothers accolades or written affirmations of who they are or what they do outside of their motherly role. When I sent the first volume of the Casa Saga to my daughter in Illinois, I expected none. I was fairly certain she didn’t have time to read the novel since she and her husband, Matt had just begin a Budget Blinds business and she’d given birth to her fourth child in six years! When I spoke with her weeks after I’d sent her Casa de Naomi: The House of Blessing, Book One, I discovered the book had been buried under a pile of mail, which wasn’t a surprise given her busy life. Shortly afterward what did surprise and amaze me was reading her Facebook posts about the novel and discovering she’d decided to read a chapter each night. A few posts later, she mentioned enjoying the read! Then her friends, especially those who know me, began asking her about the book. And finally on a glorious Sunday morning, I got a phone call every mother-author would love! It began, “Mom! What did you do!” If Cheryl hadn’t told me she’d stayed up till 2 a.m. reading my book until it was finished, I would have thought I was in trouble. Instead, I was being lauded! 

Later that day, I check to see how Casa was doing on Amazon, I read:

“I couldn’t put it down! I was given Casa de Naomi: The House of Blessing, Book One as a gift. When I finally found a free moment, I picked it up and was blown away! The story drew me in. I found myself thinking about the characters throughout the day. I looked forward to reading it each night. I even read until 2:00 a.m. one night because I just couldn’t put it down! The story stayed with me for weeks as found myself remembering little pieces here and there. My only complaint was that the book ended! I cannot wait to read Casa de Naomi: The House of Blessing, Book Two and find out what happens next!” —Cheryl Henrikson

This wonderful, thrilling, amazing moment continues to affirm my work, and now that I’ve sent Cheryl a prerelease copy of Book Two, I’ll have the added pleasure of hearing from one of my favorite readers once she’s read that book!
