What Readers Are Saying
“Elaine puts as much effort into writing a story about a remarkable person like Houston newspaper columnist Leon Hale as she does a lowly donkey named Hansl. Both are equally enjoyable to read.”
“Elaine is a superb storyteller who writes from the heart. Through relating events that happened years ago, she helps us understand and appreciate the bravery, determination and foresight of our ancestors.”

You can do something about that!
