Her first book, “Journey to the River of Perfumes” is set in Vietnam. The second story is entitled “Hidden in the Himalayas” which takes place in Nepal. Debbie writes about places she has personally experienced with Vietnam and Nepal being some of her more magical destinations. She has a way of translating her experiences into words, so children can really feel as though they have been transported to another land. They will learn about the daily lives of the people in that particular country, the local scenery, the food and the geographic location.
