"An alternate title fo this slim memoir could be "I Remember Mongu...'But the Welsh virltues of faith and love of family followed through the generations which Rook describes thoroughly...Like the pioneers before her, she travelled west...sad times, happy times, funny times...inevitlably came the ending...event that has a positive aspect by the author of her grandmother in Heaven."

"The United States is the country of immigrants par excellence, and it is always interesting to read the stories of families who treasure their roots and ethnic origins. This is clearly one such book. Well done!"
