What People are Saying

Lindsey Arfsten, Roseville - “Ms. Richter is a thoughtful writer who enjoys sharing the rich meaningful lives of generations of families who endured both hardships and celebratory times over the years. The story is detailed with documents and photos to help us understand and imagine

the lives of the generations of the Fiddyment family. After reading the book and meeting the Fiddyments' at a special luncheon, I think the foundation of the book reflects the great love this couple has shared for decades. It's a wonderful book!!”
