Reader comments from "Cracked then Shattered":

"I was instantly drawn into her book after reading the very first page."

"This book is very engrossing , , ,an interesting glimpse into the minds of two twenty year-olds during the chaotic late sixties."

"A provocative existential meditation on two young people seeking meaning and reminiscent of the playful mutuality between romance and friendship . . . a reminder of just how deceptive and fragile love can be."

"I really could not put this book down. It transported me right back to the late 60's and the height of the VIetnam War.

A moving look- back at coming of age during that chaotic time."

"Her story is a deeply personal revelation; a generous gift of herself for our reflection, instruction and enjoyment.
