“Working with the good people at Heartfelt Books has never been anything less than a wonderful experience,” proclaimed Mary Ann. “Whenever I needed any kind of support while working on my books, I always received immediate feedback via email, phone or chat room. Sometimes I got ‘lost’ trying to sequence my recollections and feelings, but the editors were more than happy to rescue me. Heartfelt Books not only helped me achieve an excellent format, but had suggestions that enabled me to publish books I have been extremely proud to send to those I love.”

“Heartfelt Books is the perfect name for this company. They all have such big, caring hearts. Speaking from my own heart, I think of everyone at Heartfelt Books as a dear friend.”

The recipients of Mary Ann’s books have been effusive with their praise. “On my 70th birthday, my eyes opened wide when I received a memorable gift of love, a published book from my sister’s heart,” remarked Peggy, Mary Ann’s sister. “Many memories forgotten were revived of how our lives together have been shared.”
