"We always knew that olden times were turbulent - but we never realized how difficult it must have been just to survive! You make history come alive." -- Amanda Diurba. Librarian, Grafton Library "What a pleasure and surprise to see how much had gone into your character study - you did a splendid job of capturing her personality, style and history. And you did an equally fine job of answering audience questions. A thoroughly enjoyable learning experience for all." -- Paula Ogier, Cambridge Center for Adult Education "We were enthusiastic about this character's life. Students enjoyed how you introduced us to courageous women we'd not heard of before. These are ordinary women they can understand and identify with." -- Joan Godsey, 5th grade teacher, Leverett Elem School
