— "[Heron's] vivid descriptions via character development rings my bell. I know I'm gonna wish for more when I reach the end ... which is why I'm trying to go slow. & it's hard to do that. It's like sugar, Echo Heron. Your writing is like Sugar."
— "Having read every book written by Echo Heron, this might be my favorite. While I enjoy her fiction titles very much, I enjoy her non-fiction titles even more. So glad she wrote this one. This one will be read time and time again."
— "Mooshie's story is heart-warming without coming across like a Christmas movie. The reader is drawn into every part of the couple's lives whether in California, the West Indies, New York, Chicago, Hollywood or Florida. Surviving encounters with earthquakes, violent storms, mountain lions, poisonous toads, voodoo spells, etc, these wild, funny and moving true adventures will keep the reader entertained."
