“A compelling story of two very different women navigating the challenges of a changing, sometimes chaotic world.”
-Deborah Berger, Freelance writerWhat People Are Saying
“Thank you for introducing me to Pen and Gail, two compelling women who used their privilege to improve the lives of many Washington state residents during their lives. . . . The best books are about characters and the similarities and differences between the “poor little rich girl,” and “the girl next door,” is a great contrast for driving the story along.
-Lynne Pearson, Author, Editor
“Sam Sperry really knows Seattle from the inside, and he gets how much aspiration drives its citizens. He tells a very touching story of friendship of two women from opposite economic backgrounds, and produces an economic parable for the city.”
-David Brewster, Post Alley, Founder of Town Hall Seattle, and The Weekly“A loving tribute to formidable friendships and a grand celebration of Seattle and the Pacific Northwest.”
-Christel Brellochs, Intrepid New Yorker“Rich in characters, incident and atmosphere, Sam’s book is set in Seattle but tells a universal story of people deciding to live consequential lives.”
-Dr. Paul Hill, Founder and Director Emeritus, the Center on Reinventing Public Education, University of Washington.
