What Two Can Do
"One thing I like a lot about the book is that it shows change is possible in realistic and manageable ways. Telling that story is important, because many women don't believe their employers or politicians are capable of change, and don't see themselves as being able to make that change happen. So the more we popularize who the change-makers are and show people, 'See, this is how to do it' ... that's what can make a difference." —Ellen Bravo, Co-Director, 9 to 5
"What Two Can Do" is a pageturner. The author succeeds in making a biography read like a novel. This book deserves to be bought and read by hordes of people, even those who have never heard of Sam and Mandy Stellman, on the basis of the morality they exemplify and on the writing model in which their story is couched."
—Rosalyn Reeder, Michigan, customer comment on Amazon.com

"Wonderful book." —Donna Shalala, Secretary of Health & Human Services under Pres. Clinton
"Important and instructive reading for all who look for ways to mend the world and promote social change." —Hannah Rosenthal, Regional Director, Health & Human Services, under Pres. Clinton
"Their story needs to be known." —Judge Charles B. Schudson, Wisconsin Court of Appeals

"Offers new writers a chance to learn how to avoid being placed immediately in the dreaded NO pile before an agent or editor gets past the first paragraph. The actual published examples used are wonderful. And many experienced writers may also find the tips helpful and inspiring if they have hit a roadblock in their current work. I went back and rewrote an entire first page after reading it." —P.J. Parrish, New York Times best-selling author of the Lewis Kincaid thrillers

half-dozen tips that will directly apply to his or her own work. I
