               						STILL LOVE TO HEAR YOUR STORIES As you may see to the far right of this blog, I've been busy finishing my own
                  story of finding my father, which took some eleven years. I'm glad to share it with you here because I'm of the firm belief
                  that we can only gain strength from each other by sharing our stories. Do please send me your tales at danifloodmail@gmail.com.
                  I am really sorry that I am unable to personally help so many of you to find your fathers; I'm a journalist and I am about
                  disseminating information. Hopefully, you will find your ways through some of the avenues in this website. Best warm wishes.

       "I loved it." -- Sara Nelson, as books editor
                     of O, The Oprah Magazine  "When I was 13
                     or so, the Vietnam War in full flower, reading Graham Greene's The Quiet American let me appreciate fiction in a whole new
                     way. Years later, Danielle Flood's riveting memoir-cum-mystery-story has let me appreciate Greene and his novel -- and the
                     intersections of fiction and nonfiction -- in new ways. Such a story! And so beautifully told." -- Kurt Andersen, novelist,
                     host of the public radio show Studio 360  "Passionate and unflinchingly honest, this is a fascinating memoir that explores the tangled connections
                     between Graham Greene’s fictional version of wartime Indochina, and the real people there whose actions have haunted the author for most of her life. She is the
                     child of an affair so much like the one described in the love triangle of Greene’s novel that she is perfectly right
                     to make her startling claim, “I am a sequel he never wrote.”----Michael Shelden, author of Graham Greene:
                     The Enemy Within and Indiana State University Professor.  "Every once in a while a memoir will appear that has the power to stop us dead...This book relates the triumph
                     of the indomitable human spirit in the most trying of life's circumstances..." -- Jo Manning, biographer and novelist "Extraordinary and spectacular...a story that connect powerfully and poignantly
                     with most of us." -- David Lawrence, Jr., international child advocate and former publisher of The Miami Herald  "...a work that will outlive us all: compelling, acutely honest and profoundly moving, without being whiny or cruel. That's rare." -- Joe McGinniss,
                     author, The Selling of the President and others.  TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE UNQUIET DAUGHTER, CLICK HERE.

                     DAUGHTER to a crowd of more than a hundred at the Books and Books in Coral Gables, Florida. During the Q & A she explains
                     how she found foreign service and Central Intelligence Agency officers who worked in Saigon with her parents more than 65
                     years ago, amongst other matters. In the video below, Mitchell Kaplan, founder of Books and Books and the Miami International
                     Book Fair, book seller and movie producer, introduces former Miami Herald publisher Dave Lawrence to the audience of some
                     100 persons. Lawrence introduces Danielle Flood.
