Reader's Comments


"We're grateful for your terrific book, Justly Proud, which I just finished reading tonight and enjoyed tremendously. I am so glad to have had that privilege! So many people and images touched me including: Aunt Liz, ahead of her time!, your grandmother's vanity and its silver lidded jars, the tragedy of your great aunt Katherine, Kiss Pie (I wonder if I can make it), the story of the "Jesus Tree", Baboo's beautiful, wise advice on marriage."
Ginny Phelan, Professor Of English, Princeton University


"Read your book yesterday in one sitting. It was truly absorbing for many reasons, not the least of which was my own German heritage. I have never read anything written with so much love. It was deeply moving for that alone. I was often in tears."
Constance Carter, Orinda, California
