After reading this book I’m sure you will agree that Jeanne had a true gift when it came to channeling her feelings to words in poems and stories. In times of hardship and struggle in her life she would turn to her faith, and her never ending love and compassion for her fellow human beings. She was a woman who showed compassion to all throughout her life. Her poems and stories are a breath of fresh air in a world of never ending breaking news. She truly believed Love conquers all. You can only feel good after reading these kind, warm, heartwarming words from Jeanne……

It is heartwarming to look back at a woman’s life through her poetry and short stories. She had a gift for expressing her experiences and feelings through her words. Each one captures the essence of an important time in the life of a special woman who grew up during the depression, fell in love with a soldier and raised 7 children through some tough times. She never lost her appreciation for life and she touched many people through her kindness and empathy.

This book touched me on a personal level, striking a nerve that helped me see things in a very different way. Its a positive note on the hardest of times. It exemplifies the powers that one can conjure up when faced with times of great strife- whether its war, financial hardships or maintaining a relationship.

This book was simply wonderful. Such heartfelt emotions, such beautiful writing. I could not put the book down. I just loved it. I so wish I could have met her, she must have been a joy to be around. Ricardo was so lucky to have a grandmother like her. Thanks for publishing this book, Ricardo. It is truly unique.

This book is amazing! Jeanne Flood was an amazing person and so inspirational. One of her many wishes is to know she made a difference. She did! She has inspired so many people to follow their dreams and to treat everyone with kindness, no matter who they are. I read a poem each night and it reminds me how much love she had to share. Thank you, Ricardo, for keeping Grandma's spirit alive! She truly did make a difference and continues to do so through her poetry. ❤
