WHO HAVE ENDORSED
LAUREL LEE AND HER BOOKS
On
Laurel's last book,
Tapestry:The Journey of Laurel Lee—
She
doesn't think people who are dying have any special wisdom
but does think reflecting on life and death is a good thing.
"I'm very excited," she says. "I've traveled to 50 countries,
but I've never been to heaven."— Jeff
Baker, Book Reviewer, The
Oregonian
What
an exquisite book! She's turned her struggles into such
poetry. Her honesty, humor, and the clarity of her soul
shine through this work. I'm in awe of her.— Sue
Grafton, author of the Kinsey
Millhone Mysteries
"What
an indomitable lady! This book makes me wish I could have
known her."
Beverly Rowe of MyShelf.com.
[T]he
compelling personal story of Laurel Lee and her literary
"rags to riches" life story ... it chronicles the events
of her life with simplicity and narrative poise. Highly
recommended and inspirational reading. —The
Midwest Book Review,
The Bookwatch
In
"IF . . ." Kipling wrote of triumph and disaster as "two
impostors," and nobody knew the truth of that better than
Laurel Lee: she had plenty of both and always a gentle spirit
that kept her free of either pride or despair. TAPESTRY
is testimony to her beautiful soul, now dwelling in the
New Jerusalem. "There are many to love on both sides of
the sky," she wrote last Thanksgiving, and my sorrow evaporates
as I imagine her joy on the other side.—Brad
Miner, Executive Editor of American
Compass and author of THE COMPLEAT GENTLEMAN: The Modern
Man's Guide to Chivalry --
Through
her life stories painted in the book, a consistent language
of grace, faith and a special lyrical intensity surface.
—Diana
Schweitzer, Canby Herald
Laurel
Lee has the kind of faith and spirit that helps her triumph
under any circumstances ...
