Brittany Boroian said… - Hi John,
I am sure almost everyone here (especially those who read The Blue Sweater) are interested in Kenya because Jacqueline talks about it so much in her book! Maybe you could start a discussion on there about your experiences in Kenya and how it's relevant to Jacqueline's story, I'm sure people would LOVE to read that!
