Review Quotes:
Praise for I Give you My Word
This book is an ode to friendship! I Give You My Word is a celebration of the musings, the questions, and the knowings we offer each other through words. And it is a reminder of how the words of a friend can accompany, unveil and ignite both who we truly are and who we are wanting to become. -- Jennifer Brooks Quinn, Biographical Counselor and Adult Educator
These very human voices gave rise to memories of my own along with thoughts of those things that have changed and those that have not - yet. Most of all I am left with the certainty of our need for one another and how the strength of one circle of friends, sharing the essential questions of life, has the power to reach out across the world to create more connections and to touch the lives of so many. -- Patricia Rubano, Director, Biography and Social Art Program
Imagine finding a box of old letters -- reading the exchanges between friends from almost 50 years ago and hearing your own voice back then. This book reminds readers of the joy of receiving letters, the benefits of life-long friendships, and the historic changes women were faced with in the 1970s. Lovely journey to "back in the day." -- Patti Smith, Facilitator, Center for Courage and Renewal and Center for Biography and Social Art
