I like the research Edda did. Her website recommendations are particularly useful.

One Day in a Row is so fun to read! I can relate to her drawings that bring a smile and inspire. I love her intelligent and casual sense of humor. Edda Beck-Gilmore's ability to create laughter and light is an oasis during tough times.

With humor, insight, and empathy, Edda Beck-Gilmore offers the recently unemployed not only hope for a better future but also a practical guide to coping with the shock and challenges that come with losing a job. After losing my newspaper job of nearly 30 years, I drew inspiration and hope from Edda’s writing as the chapters of One Day in a Row unfolded, and I continue to do so. She has spent her life helping others - students, family and friends - handle problems. Her uplifting book helped me maintain a positive outlook when bitterness and anger could have consumed me, and it motivated me to keep pushing forward each day as I built my freelance sports writing career.

Edda dances her way through the ups and downs of life, bringing help and good cheer to her reader/audience in a difficult time. The personality of her writing and drawings makes the book quick and fun to read.

One Day in a Row is clear, positive, and easy. Funny, too!

Rural Harding deepens my love for a place that I thought I knew. It should make every Harding resident stand a little taller.

Rural Harding brought wonderful memories and tears; a truly precious gift for anyone living in Harding.

The composition of each of your photos, Jane, is superb.

You have managed to capture so many of the subtleties and nuances that make Harding such a wonderful place to live. I know that my wife will be delighted to receive such a wonderful volume under the Christmas tree.

Jane, your book makes me want to move to Harding!

The Seas Stay Waiting is a beautiful book that will be cherished. I would like 10 copies to give to friends and family.

I listen to your CD when I'm painting; it's so inspiring. The only problem is that it's too short!

Your CD is a great gift! I'd like to order six copies.

I commend you on your CD. I love your voice so much. You must make more recordings!

When I listened to your CD, I was blown away. It made me tear up.

I get compliments on my T'ai Chi form and I tell them I owe it to my teacher Odette.
