'In her delightful tapestry of life ranging back over this last century and beyond, Berenice Eastman doesn't simply reminisce about her own experiences. She weaves in many stories of her contemporaries -- people she has known, admired and honoured.
Whether they are household names, or people who have slipped away into history almost unrecognised or unremembered, Berenice's eclectic and generous perspectives include musicians, actors, writers, teachers, and above all the lives and aspirations of women who are or were dedicated to enriching the literature of our society.'
