the
Disappearing
donor

Dear Susan, Congratulations on your book, The Disappearing Donor. I just completed reading it last night and wanted to share with you how much I enjoyed it. Your character development was very John Grisham-like and I was easily able to replace the names of your characters with many I have worked with over the years. Reading your book was akin to attending a Fundamentals of Fundraising course. You covered many of the key topics in an enjoyable manner Having been in fund development/gift planning for many years and often asked for recommendations on books, I will add this to my list for the novice, and even the advanced development professional. Nothing better than an ah-ha moment or a reaffirming idea. Thank you for sharing your talents of being an adept storyteller with the rest of the development world! P.S. Let me know if Lupe needs a reference as she interviews for the Executive Director position. I would be happy to offer my insights.

If you think the world of nonprofit development is all about another fundraising campaign, new donor initiatives and gimmicky sales pitches, then you haven’t met Director of Development Lupe Reinowski. You haven’t walked into the galleries of the Museum of Vegetable Culture. This story takes you behind the scenes and into the personal lives of nonprofit management.

Witty dialogue and wry humor offer a seductive tour of museum intrigue in front of and behind the scenes. The Disappearing Donor serves equal parts fine art and workplace culture. This romantic mystery is laden with gastronomic references and epicurean delights to thrill the most avid foodie or devoted connoisseur. Madon’s debut novel is a wholly entertaining whodunit, entertaining and educational and as priceless as a great work of art.

Art heist. Kidnapping. Nothing can stop love. A dazzling snapshot of NYC's view of the gutter and houses on the hill, Susan Madon's Disappearing Donor has it all.
