The Baker/Revell catalog arrived in my mailbox a couple weeks ago, and I paged through it and instantly fell in love with this cover. I even showed it to my mom and sisters (I have six!) and sent a link to a friend.The few paragraphs excerpted from All the Tea in China made me want to read it more. Though I knew Jane Orcutt was an author, I wasn't familiar with her work, but the excerpt made me feel I'd discovered another Deeanne Gist or Jane Austen.
Then came the news - Jane Orcutt died Sunday after a battle with leukemia.
Several bloggers have given glimpses of Jane's life:
Charis Connection
Robin Lee Hatcher
Donita K. Paul
B. J. Hoff
I feel as though I've lost a friend I never got to have.
