I love reader mail. Thanks to my Contact page, I have the opportunity to hear from you often. Your notes range from “Love your books!” to personal anecdotes to questions about my novels.

Occasionally I’ll see the same question pop up over and over. One that’s caught my fancy has to do with a reference in Family Tree’s acknowledgement page where I thank two important people for information on Iraqi life and speech. You’re asking, “What does that have to do with the story?” Well, the answer is in the book!

Can you find the page in Family Tree with an Iraqi character? If so, send me a note in Contact with the page number and name of the character. In return, I’ll enter your name in a drawing. One entry per person, please. The prize? Ten copies of the new Family Tree trade paperback and my DVD called Barbara Delinsky Talks About Writing and Books, all perfect for your book group discussion of Family Tree. Hurry! The deadline is November 30.
