REVIEWS OF RAVEN TRICKS
This is NOT a book about how to be a sweet old lady! Drawn from personal experience, “Barbara Shave searches for the wisdom or humor and usually finds both.… Smile along with her as she adjusts to life in a gated community, unwraps yet another Christmas gift of soap, or relives the kitchen fire that finally finished off the gingersnaps.... She faces up to the hard parts of growing older while celebrating the good.” (Pat Archibald, Editor of Seniors Choice Newsmagazine, June 2006). “Shave has managed to address the inevitable issues that touch us all.… Shave’s style is smooth and has an easy rhythm, just right for a quick, entertaining read.” (T. J. Wallis, Editor of North of 50 Magazine, June 2006).” “Shave proves she is well-equipped to deal with some of life’s most paralyzing challenges with grace and a good-hearted laugh.” (Alison Belbin for the Kelowna Daily Courier, August 2006) “This is not a book about aging gracefully” and “it is not about how to be a sweet old lady.” (Michele Rule, City Councilor for Castanet, May 2006) “The tone/attitude was strong, intelligent, liberating, good-natured, and filled with agency. This is the type of text that gets people talking and moving. Great project!” (15th Annual Selt-Published Book Awards Commentary, Writers Digest)
