You are an old soul master wordsmith. Spinning ideas, weaving words, unfolding a fascinating story tapestry, I could not get down from the elephant until I rode it to the end. I could ride again and treasure a same-different, sad-joyous, funny-wise, whole and holy encounter. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.... Andy

Over the course of the last 24 hours, my husband and I shared the book back and forth (whomever got to it first!) until we'd both finished it within a couple of hours of each other. What a heart-moving journal of your journey with your Mother through the trials of Alzheimer's. Ruhanna

The author expertly depicts the devastating impact on each family member witnessing the slow decline of a loved one who no longer recognizes them—a true test of love and endurance. Gail

You are very courageous to have written your experience in such detail, with a deep sensibility. Loved it. Cristina

I was absolutely unprepared for this gorgeous and devastating book. And yet in the end it is transcendent, even ennobling. She is one hell of a fine writer, and this is a book worthy of a mother-daughter relationship, and that, to me, is saying so, so much. Phil

I found it compelling, interesting and moving. Once I began reading it, I found myself annoyed at having to put it aside to get some sleep. Bob

Finished reading “Elephants” today and can't tell you how impressed I am--with your writing and with the honesty you bring to it. Judy

I so much admire the life you put into a book about death and dying. Mary

I read your book last night and really enjoyed it. I was dead tired when I started it but couldn't put it down until it ended! Ann
