buried in it."

truly admire your courageous commitment to well being,
sanity and compassion. I wish you and your lovely book
much success.

Theatre Gael & WorldSong Children's Theatre
Gee, where to begin-bold, brave, scholarly; also
sincere- tried & true honest, fun, poignant. And it is
practical wisdom in small healthy doses; to-the-bone
"truth," not "truthiness." Love the design, too. The
Haunted Bed-YIKES!!
Marcia R. Oliver, Earth Mother
Your book inspired me to take some bold steps myself, to
move beyond my comfort level and leave the Midwest for
New York. It has helped me rise above the shackles of
complacency and lack of direction.
Kent Johnson,
businessman
Back to the Garden is a courageous story of grace and
wisdom emerging from chaos and trauma-reminding us to
let go of outcomes and step out on faith.
Joyce Kinnard, co-author The Lemon Book, cancer survivor
I absolutely love this book. It hits at the heart of
what many deal with these days: how do I create a happy
life out of the frustrations of my former struggles?
The easy flow of the writing gently seduced me. In
reading the stories of the author and her friends, the
lens she held to their life events and insights led me
naturally to my own inner exploration. We may not know
the number of our days, but through the profound
illustrations in this deeply moving book, the author
gently guides us as to how to make the best of them.
Robert E. Dallas, Ph.D., The Dallas Center
Your wonderful book touched me at the time when I needed
it the most. It is such a good read as well as being
inspirational, uplifting, evocative and engrossing. I
laughed, cried, was transported to the places, and came
to know the people you wrote about. I can still smell
the fragrance of your magnolia flowers! I'm halfway
through it again!
Kim McLagan, entrepreneur
It got me in touch with my feminine side. More than once
while reading it, I had to take to bed with a box of
Kleenex and a bottle of Midol.
Mack Ray, Arkansas farmer & columnist
A beautifully written book; reading it is like visiting
with a friend, or having a conversation with the author
by an open fire on a winter's day.
