The book is going out all over the world. So far there are about a half a dozen readers in Changsha, China. Hu Juan worked in Ohio this summer and brought back 2 copies of "Verdi". The books are being shared with her roommates and friends. Another three students in Changsha are reading it via Email. I send 2 chapters at a time.
There is one copy in Roa, Norway and it is shared between Ragnild and Maria Oppen. They are the twin sisters that Eric and Matthew enjoyed a wonderful visit with this summer. Verdi wrote them a thank you letter in Norwegian and sent them a signed copy of the book.
So far there are 150+ copies of the book out there across many states.
Each night when I call Dad, his first words are often, "I sold another book today.
The list of states so far is, Wisconsin, Iowa, South Dakota, Montana, Washington, California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Nebraska, Washington, DC, Tennessee,
We are grateful for all of the relatives and friends who have embraced the book and shared their gratitude with Verdi. He keeps saying, "I had no idea how many people would like the book. I thought it would just be family."
Last night I gave a copy to our Congressman Ben Chandler. I pointed out the politics section and the reference to never voting for a non-Democrat. he laughed and said "Your dad sounds like a true Democrat.
maybe Chandler will read the book back in DC and get this mess straighted out after reading a few of the positive words in Verdi.
