Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

Red Rock Press, 2001

Like Finding a Treasure!
I can't believe more people don't know about this book because it contains gems that really sparkle, that catch the light in profound or surprising ways. Its stories are all true and many of its American (and a few British) voices are distinctive. Charity has been much in the news lately. This book gets inside charity---not, for the most part, big organizated institutional charities, but giving ...

My husband received a copy of this and has a few comments: "As an ex-Navy Seabee, I am wondering why no one has ever done a book of this sort before.

Rusty Fischer

Virtue Victorious, 2003

Very True, Very Moving
I read this book and its true stories struck as very real. It only has a few poems but I liked those, too. These stories are moving, I often suddenly found myself interested in someone, or some situation, that really was new to me, yet I felt I could relate to the person who wrote about it. I found myself rooting for strangers. But there were also many writers whose stories in some way I seemed ...

Reading these stories of ordinary people made me feel I was sitting in their kitchens hearing about events whose memories lingered to make their mark on succeeding generations.

Lebhar-Friedman Books, 2000

The financial buzz without the hangover
This book is a great intro to finance for people who want to learn about finance, but can't tolerate the dry, mundane, how-to styles of most financial publications. The Buzz On Finance is witty and interesting. The author's intro is especially clever in explaining the difference between old-world and new-world finance.
