“I enjoyed reading The Stolen House of Light so
very much...I had trouble putting it down until I got to
the very end. So much imagination, coupled with
so much educational information on house
moving, Underground Railroad, and history in
general. Well worth the read!”
- Montrew Dunham, Author and Historian.
Her recent book is Abigail's Secret.

"I just finished the book. Fantastic read. I got so
much out of it."
- Dennis, reader from California
"I was very moved by the spirit of the book. It seems
all too often in contemporary story telling that the
good guys vanquish the bad guys. It was not the
case in The Stolen House of Light. There were no
bad guys, compassion and understanding saved
the day. I am part of an inter-racial family and I also
spent time homeless in NYC. The book was
especially meaningful to me."
- Tom, reader from Chicago
“I want you to know how much I enjoyed this book.
It has an interesting story line with some solid
historical events sewn in. I really loved it. Has the
author done any books since that first one? I am
already a fan of hers.”
- Nancy, reader from Seattle
“I finished your book over my morning coffee, and
got so into the book that the coffee got cold! I really
enjoyed it and can see how it will appeal to a lot of
different people.”
- Susan C., reader from Hawaii

My novel pays tribute to house movers and their history, including
This book also addresses preservation, homelessness, gender

fascinating part of American history. Enjoy the unusual story that
