"I'm at last able to stretch out on my patio in southern Germany on an afternoon of rare sunlight on the Swabian Alb, and have opened your book like a box of fine pralines, full of anticipation and the sure knowledge that I have made an excellent purchase!" -Gabriele Glang, artist and writer; the book: "Tea with Sister Anna: A Paris Journal", by Susan Gilbert Harvey
