Review Quotes




Praise for "Mabel"

"Mabel was a Jewel. I was thoroughly immersed in the memories Suellen so clearly recalled of her growing up years. I, too, knew a woman on my paper route that had a round, black box over her right eye. Like Sue, it was really scary at first until I began to understand that the woman had a heart of gold. As we age, it is fun to recall memories of our earlier life. I recommend this stroll through your childhood." - Gary White, High School Classmate

"Suellen's storytelling lifts Mabel from words on a page to a teacher of life's lessons. Mabel's love and compassion is an equal trade-off for our acceptance of differences. Rarely does one find a more beautiful soul to fill a household with love until an absent parent returns. Suellen opened her heart in sharing this beautiful story." - Pat Thompson Curtiss, Childhood Friend
