"Just started on Small Doses but have already read enough to know that it is beautifully written, and the subject herself is fascinating."

"This book deserves to be widely read. The deep letters and fine
introductions really give a taste of life in Czechoslovakia."

"It is very interesting. My guess is that very few Czechs are aware of the misery that so many Czechs (and, I am sure, Slovaks, too) lived in   during the first half of the 20th century."

"I am enthralled with the recollections of that time period. Nicely crafted words to portray the harshness, the hope and beauty of a real life."

"I just finished your wonderful book. I realized that although I've read quite a bit about poor and suffering Jews in Eastern Europe during the 20th century, I haven't read much about poor and suffering gentiles in the very same area during the very same timeframe!"

"I found it very interesting, well written, a very professional effort. Each night, I looked forward to doing another chapter or so. The concept of the mother's letters to her immigrant son, introduced by his commentary, held together nicely. . . And having been to Czechoslovakia so many times, it was especially informative to read an authentic account of the rural and small town life there."
