"This beautiful book resonates with a feeling for how things really happen. It will make you smile, stimulate your spirit, chase away your fears. Read it today! Then read it as often as you need to to revive your courage. What a gift!"—John Taylor Gatto, former New York State Teacher of the Year and author of The Underground History of American Education
"Once again, Linda Dobson has blazed a trail for us all. This book confirms that honoring children, families, and communities is, in the end, the greatest testament to homeschooling's overall success."—Richard J. Prystowsky, professor of English and Humanities, Irvine Valley College, and editor of Paths of Learning
