I just finished "ON THEIR OWN TERMS" and wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed reading it. As I read the narrative about each subject you chose to tell, I felt I was truly engaged and drawn into the story. I attribute this to your style of writing, which made the stories come alive for me.

Just devoured this collection of biographies while sitting outside on a warm summer's day on Vancouver Island. I hope more locals come forward with their personal family stories so the author can capture them as vividly as she did in this book. - Reader via Amazon
