DSANV to Benefit from Purchases of Dolls Remembered
The author of a new book (released on September 1) has generously selected DSANV to receive the royalties from its sales. Madonna Dries Christensen, the author, is a friend of our organization so we wanted to let our members know.
From the introduction to Dolls Remembered:As touchstones to the past, dolls validate childhood, a span of years that often seem like fragmented moments in time. With their life-like faces, blemished complexions, and snarled hair, vintage dolls hold sway with a magical power that rarely wanes, and often grows. In this collection, not all the dolls were pretty; not all were wanted; some were disappointing, not all became favorites, but all are memorable. Dolls Remembered, an anthology of stories about memorable childhood dolls, has 194 pages and 23 photographs. It's $16.95 through www.iUniverse.com (http://www.iuniverse.com/), or www.amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/) , or by order through your local bookstore. Royalties go to the Down Syndrome Association of Northern Virginia.
