Dear Janet,
Your book, “You Don’t Ask, You Don’t Get,” was the perfect non-fiction choice for our book club meeting. Having you available to deliver an author talk and answer our questions face to face was a special opportunity we won’t soon forget. We all learned better ways to ask and were inspired to follow the examples you laid out for us. It’s not always easy to find agreement among the diverse women in our group, but your book, with its message of how to ask for anything, appealed to all of us. Our members had a great time sharing their personal asking stories. Thank you so much for coming. You were a wonderful speaker and I am happy to give my recommendation."
