I hope to encourage others not to assume, but to check, ask,and observe; then show compassion, and kindness-towards others. Be prepared to shoulder the responsibility that accompanies success.

"Peace,Silence and Scents"

"This book is a great read for everyone, but healthcare folks will find it especially rewarding thanks to the heartwarming stories that will have you nodding your head in agreement with " Yes, I can relate to that" situation. Each story grabs your heart, your funny bone, or both. Enjoy!" Saundra Ozan
"Florence's first-hand experience was skillfully written and truthfully described to interest people in the home health therapy field, to reveal the reality of an often-overlooked part of a person's recovery process which is as important as any treatment if not more, to call attention to the professionals to LOOK INTO What's in...the Inside." Danni Zhu Triandafils- DOM-LAc
DiVoran Lites - Author of the Florida Springs Trilogy writes "Florence has told a riveting story that will make you laugh and cry. I enjoyed this gentle and humorous book, and I am grateful for the Home Health Therapy we have had at our home over the years"
- Racheal Mozier from Oviedo, Florida writes... "I read the book in one sitting. It was very heartfelt and enduring. Each story or event was so meaningful. There were serious situations that began from sadness and lacking, but the author was able to turn them around and make people whole again; this is a gift from our creator. God grants us all special gifts in life, missions if you will, and this book shows healing of the mind, body, and soul."
- Sylvia Ammann from Charleston, SC writes... " I received this book, as a gift. Once I picked it up I didn't want to put it down, but it was 2:00 am! When I was able to resume reading , I immediately wanted to purchase more copies to share as gifts. I am the caregiver for my mom, who will be 100 years old in April. She is enjoying the stories too. Thank goodness for those caregivers, like Florence, who really " care" about their patients, and go above and beyond!
- A review from an Amazon customer described as an English Speaker in Italy.... "Physical Therapists will recognize your profession at its best and yourselves in these pages. Briefest vignettes of elderly, poor, homebound patients requiring therapy greet us on every page. The individuals we meet provoke empathy while demanding we reflect on on practice and principle. Make time to read in spurts. Each case deserves a quiet moment to consider. Open, wide margin's offer space for noting observations and possible alternative practice. You'll need a pen and maybe even a tissue in this driving narrative. Everyone who cares for the marginalized will be glad they read this book."
