In her memoir, Mama’s personality is richly captured; her voice just shines through. This is due to Trena’s questions, encouragement, and good listening powers. I feel that I am passing along a work of substance, heart, and historical significance. It is a beautiful achievement.

Trena’s help in writing my memoirs is inestimable. She was always there for me, pulling the pieces of my life story into an accomplished whole. She is professional, a whiz with words, and a truly nice person.

G. Brobeck, Orinda

Trena did a phenomenal job turning the interview tapes into a cohesive narrative. Our mother’s memoirs are something our whole family will treasure forever.

When I read her memoir, I laughed, cried, and most of all vividly remembered my grandmother’s touch, smell, and sense of humor. Someday, when I have children, I will hand this book to them and say, “Meet my Grandma.”

At our 50th anniversary party, we laid our memoir books out on a table. They were the hit of the evening! Several people commented on what a great idea that was, and how it was about time they did something like that.
