I finished the book just minutes ago. I didn’t want it to end either! Although I don’t think I could handle many more fits of tears every other time I picked it up! Makes me miss grandma & grandpa.

I really enjoyed your book, it made me laugh out loud several times. I don’t know how you can remember so much from back then. I am lucky to remember anything from last week.

High School friend Bill Strock

Got your book today on my Kindle. It is a very sweet read as you were always a very sweet girl. I smiled as I read. I am so fortunate to have known you and been your friend. Love you always. Thanks for being you.

Ellen Dahl Anderson (Four Buttes School classmate)

Got your book read it all in one setting except to break away to make dinner. I loved it. You did a wonderful job.

George Schmidt

Kathy, I loved your book. The stories of your life events, your loving family and your church life, and life on the Montana prairie brought many smiles and occasional emotions to this gentleman from small-town, rural Arkansas. You got your wish – you are now the character in a book.

Carolyn Hink – author’s sister

In rereading your book I am SO IMPRESSED! This time through I’ve been looking at it more as a writer than as a reader and you definitely hit a home run with this! Even if I am your sister, and even though your story is also my story (perhaps because I lived it with you and know the facts (from the older sister’s perspective) you did a superb job of not only describing your childhood, but of sharing what it was like from a child’s perspective, and from the perspective of one who was growing up as the story was told! In other words, there is forward progression all the way through so that it is indeed a real story, not just a vignette. In addition your amazing descriptions bring back many memories of what it was like to be there in the heat of the summer with the incredible sweet smells of summer on the prairie – and in the cold and dark of winter struggles…,and your memory for detail far surpasses mine! Congratulations, Kathy, on a work well done! Everyone I’ve talked to who has read it loves it as I do!
