"Jeanie has captured the essence of everyday life - the humorous, the serious and the tragic. She has done it in a way that is totally understandable and real. Her poetical writing carries with it a snapshot of her own inner spirit and that writing and spirit makes this book what it is - a joy to read."
-- Jerry Mullins, Retired Teacher, Counselor & Writer
