How exciting to receive well-deserved recognition from a national publication. Eleanor J. Bader of Ms. magazine recently featured the three Priscilla books in a write-up. About the author, she writes, "Writer-activist Pat LaMarche wants people to give a damn—about homelessness, poverty, ageism and gender and racial injustice."
