"Pam reminds us of what an adventure home education is. Cozy up with her book and a warm cup of
tea and cherish every page from Across the Kitchen Table."
Chris Jeub, Web editor to "Parents' Place", Focus on the Family
"Across the Kitchen Table is a must for any mom who has a desire to improve relationships with
her children and husband, and have fun while doing it." J. Michael Smith, President,
Home School Legal Defense Association
"Every family will benefit from the practical, insightful thoughts in Across the Kitchen Table."
David Quine, Cornerstone Curriculum Project
"A seat at the dinner table of a pioneering homeschooling family."
Karl Bunday, Home Education Researcher
"A must read for all parents! Full of practical tools, insightful ideas, encouraging words and
convicting wisdom from a veteran home schooling mother, now grandma, who successfully mentored
four children into adulthood and is now guiding the next generation." Valerie Swedlund,
Educational Consultant and Learning Styles Specialist
"If you think a little experience--served up with wit and clarity-might help you to homeschool
your own young-uns, then sit down, lean back, relax, and take a long, slow, refreshing drink
from wisdom's cup. You will laugh. You may cry. But, you will be glad you picked up this
book!" Chris Davis, owner, The Elijah Company
