More Than Words: Where Dreams Begin
by Christina Skye, Pamela Morsi, Sherryl Woods
Three bestselling authors
Three real-life heroines
Each of us can effect change. In our own unique ways, we can all make the world a better place. We need only to take that first step, do that first good deed and the ripple effect will be life-changing to so many. Three extraordinary women who were compelled to take that first leap and make a difference have been chosen as recipients of Harlequin's More Than Words award. To celebrate their accomplishments, three bestselling authors have written short stories inspired by these real-life heroines.
Sherryl Woods captures the magic of pretty dresses and first dances in Black Tie and Promises (originally published April 2008 in hardcover was part of More Than Words, Volume 4).
Christina Skye's Safely Home is the story of a woman determined to help the elderly in her newly adopted community.
Pamela Morsi explores how literacy and the love of reading can enrich and indeed change lives, in Daffodils in Spring.
Net proceeds from the sale of this book will be reinvested into the Harlequin More Than Words program to support causes that are of concern to women.

Christina Skye's Bio
Chritina Skye has eaten snake meat in Shanghai and armadillo in Canton. A Ph.D. graduate in Chinese literature, she has translated for Chinese generals, dissident poets, and fifth-generation puppet masters. In 1981 the Ohio native was nearly arrested when a businessman she was working for insisted she help him smuggle two "ladies of dubious virtue" into Peking's prestigious State Guest House.
The armed PLA soldiers at the gate were not amused, she notes. But these days Skye's greatest love is England, especially the fog-swept southeast coast. Here she first encountered the portrait of a proud-faced, sad-eyed aristocrat and a great gray cat sitting protectively beneath it. Adrian and Gideon haven't given her a moment's peace since.
Two Draycott novellas later (one appeared in Avon Books' Haunting Love Stories and one in Bewitching Love Stories), the award-winning author of four historical romances is deep at work on a new novel set at magical Draycott Abbey.
A descendant of Revolutionary War hero Adam Helmer, Christina Skye currently lives with her husband and young son in New Jersey, where she prudently avoids snakes and anything that resembles an armadillo.
