Читать книгу The Bridesmaid Wore Sneakers - Cynthia Thomason - Страница 4

Dear Reader,

In my last book, I told the story of Alexis, the firstborn daughter in the series, The Daughters of Dancing Falls. As firstborn, much was expected of Alex, and she more than met expectations in grades and accomplishments.

In this book, I concentrate on Jude, the middle daughter, whose life was fraught with mistakes and risks. Writing this story, I thought a lot about middle children. Had my sister not died very young, I would have grown up a middle child. I discovered that middle children often act out, because they feel underappreciated or have a difficult time finding their niche in the family. But I also discovered one very interesting fact. If you look at pictures of three siblings, the middle child is usually in the middle of the photo. That should make the “middles” feel special. They are the center, the focus of the picture. “Middles” unite. You are the center of the family. You ground the others with your determination and will to stand out on your own merits.

I hope you enjoy this book about the middle child in the Foster family. I certainly enjoyed writing it for you.

I love to hear from readers. You may contact me at cynthoma@aol.com or visit my website, www.cynthiathomason.net.
