Philanthropy and Memoirs

I am thrilled to report that my home town newspaper recently published an article about books my daughter and I have had published. The Traverse City, Michigan Record Eagle newspaper article, titled "Mother's, daughter's books" featured both our books. The mention means so much to me because Heather Shaw, whose book is Write, Memory is not only my daughter but was also an editor for our book, Women and Philanthropy, Boldly Shaping a Better World. You can read more about Heather on her blog.

What is Being Said About Our New Book: Women and Philanthropy: Boldly Shaping a Better World.

Jennifer Buffett, philanthropist and president, Novo Foundation, New York, New York
“Women and Philanthropy provides unique and meaningful stories of scores of women philanthropists and how these women are making a difference through giving, partnering, leveraging, role modeling and asking, and will help all women on their philanthropic journey, as well as nonprofits who are working with women as donors.”—

Emmett D. Carson, CEO and president, Silicon Valley Community Foundation
"With in-depth information about the importance of diversity to women's giving and how the philanthropy of women has and will shape the future of the nonprofit sector, this critically important book provides insightful information for donors and nonprofit leaders alike."
