Where’s Ginger???

Do you know about Where’s George? the dollar bill that travels the U.S., maybe the world?

I found it on the sidewalk in Wickenburg, Arizona, two years ago, a dollar bill folded into a tight wad. When I straightened it out, I found a message sending me to an online address. The site tracks each sighting of the dollar and asks each finder to drop it off somewhere else so it will continue it’s journey.

So—I’ve launched two copies of As the Sycamore Grows, one called Ginger and the other Jennie, as travel books. They each left Atlanta over the weekend and, if people follow directions, we’ll keep up with them as they travel from reader to reader.  Instructions are taped inside the front cover and the front of the books are marked.

What do you think? Any bets on how far they’ll go? Or for how long? Send your estimates here. A prize for the one coming closest  in miles by this date 2012.

  • I have shared Ginger with a good friend here in Lexington but she will soon be off to Dayton,OH.

Praise for As The Sycamore Grows

“Jennie Helderman has taken a heart-breaking issue and boiled it down to human beings, of flesh and blood and lost days and fearful nights. It opens the door on a too-common human story, and closes you in with it.”

Rick Bragg, Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Most They Ever Had, All Over But the Shouting, Ava’s Man, and The Prince of Frogtown.
