"This is a simple story of the celebration of the life, the peaceful promise, and the lasting legacy of my dear grandmother Mary Jane, who taught without words that you can't put reins on a wandering spirit."
"An ambitious first novel as rich in retrospection as it is in introspection] that serves as both a how-to guide for all those struggling to come to terms with their own shortcomings, and an arduous journey down the most difficult path of all: the path to one's self. This heartfelt personal narrative is a catalyst for change and an instrument of peace; but above all, it reminds us that love is boundless, even in the face of death." -Jeremy Weimer, writer, poet, author of "Plea"
"Remembering Mary Jane represents a wonderful tribute to God, families, and life. While the author tells the reader that she is not writing the great American novel, she takes the reader through a series of memories that will make one laugh and cry. These memories include life lessons for learning empathy in the purest sense. From Thanksmas to a funeral, the experiences of this family show love, care, compassion, and God's presence. A book you will be glad you read " -Dr. Eugenia Badger, Indiana University, author of "Metaphors, Beliefs, and Sayings About the Day of the Dead: A Cross-Cultural Comparison"
