LOVE OF BOOKS
I have loved reading for as long as I can remember. At the age of five, I fell in love with a book I received as a birthday gift. It was Alice in Wonderland. I can still visualize the gorgeous pictures on each page. Disney Magic, I call it. The book became my most treasured possession. Books have always played an important role in my life. A good story stays with you and never leaves. In my seventeenth year, I read the novel, Ramona by Helen Hunt Jackson, written in 1884 and set in Southern California after the Mexican-American War. It jarred me to my very core. Over my lifetime, I have read it three times and it remains my all-time favorite.
