Dear Friends,

Sarah Weber, coordinator of the ONEBOOKAZ reading program at the Arizona

State Library, recently informed me that

nominated to be the 2010 ONEBOOKAZ title. The finalists were narrowed down

from an extensive list of books by a committee of teachers, librarians, museum

professionals, and book sellers from the state of Arizona.

Coordinated by the Arizona State Library, this program encourages communities

across the state to read the same book and discuss it. The book will increase the

reader’s knowledge and appreciation of Arizona’s unique history and culture.

An online public vote to choose the winner will take place from September 8 to

September 30 at

I would be pleased if you decided to vote for my book.

Thank you,

Mary Ellen Barnes

ONEBOOKAZ 2010 Finalist description:

 The Road to Mount Lemmon: A Father, A

Family, and the Making of Summerhaven

– by Mary Ellen Barnes

       In this beguiling memoir of the Catalina

Mountains, Mary Ellen Barnes tells how her

father Tony resigned from teaching in 1943

to devote his career to developing the

mountain oasis of Summerhaven. The

stories within provide an intimate view of a

mountain community over the course of

nearly 60 years—a view that few people

have shared but one that all can

appreciate.
