"Heartstrings will do exactly what the title implies...tug on your heartstrings. I laughed, I cried, i felt grateful for all my blessings. And when i got to the end of the book, I wanted to read more stories. It's the kind of inspiration we all need in those moments when we feel sorry for ourselves. I hope Mary publishes the sequel she promises."

"I couldn't put this book down,. It is an easy read, but one that will move you to tears. It captures the heart of what happens on the other side of your cockpit door.
