A look back at the formative years of a child growing up in the early 1950's, "Extraordinary Parents" is a positive book about deep faith and selfless love. What seemed at the time to be ordinary experiences with ordinary parents, proved to be the unfolding of exceptional life lessons. This book captures those experiences through the eyes of a child. It is a testament to so many of the extraordinary parents of that era.

Ring Out the Echoes is the story of a "middle of the pack" girl who attended Catholic high school during the 1960's, graduating in 1967, just as the "Summer of Love" began. It is full of cultural references which will appeal to all those who came of age during a time of relative innocence. All readers no matter their age will relate to the author's awkward and often humorous high school experiences. It is also a story of gratitude for faith, family, and friendship, which builds on the author's two prior books.

During the 1950's and early 1960's, nuns predominated the teaching landscape in Catholic schools. "Thank You, Sister " is a loving tribute to those women who gave their lives in service to the faith formation of their students. At the same time, these selfless women promoted excellence in academics and nurtured the seeds of conduct, courtesy, and cooperation, which parents had already fostered in the minds of their children. The book is full of memories and cultural references, which would appeal to all who grew up during a simpler time.
