Reviews: “ I give 25 Years in the Rearview Mirror: 52 Authors Look Back by Stacy Juba a definite A+!” Emeraldfire's Bookmark “These short, autobiographical stories are variously interesting, entertaining, enlightening, and all the other adjectives sometimes used to describe a good tale of this type. They stand on their own. But they also give the reader some exposure to an author they might not be aware of, and what avid reader isn’t on the lookout for that?” Big Al's Books and Pals Subjects: Free, free books, essay collections, anthology, writing life, inspirational, motivational, biographical, memoirs
