The following authors wrote blurbs for Brenda's book:
Brenda Kay Ledford takes her persistent pen and poet's heart from such wrenching topics as Haitian immigrants and child labor to the joyful sounds of Mother Nature in "The Music of Maples" and "Leatherwood Falls." --Lorraine Martin Bennett, Copy Editor, Clay County Progress
Like a suncatcher, Ledford takes the harsh light of suffering, the glare of jealousy, the burn of guilt, and the blaze of grief and loss, and transforms them, blends them, into jewels cast on the walls and ceilings of our lives. Her approachable style makes the everyday incandescent and reminds us of the beauty even in the bleak. --Meagan Lucas, Writing Instructor of Robert Morris University and Great Smokies Writing Program, UNC Ashville; Editor-in-chief, Reckon Review
Brenda Kay Ledford describes the harshness of human nature. Her image of a rock begins a sequence of behaviors that result from life's challenging encounters. But it is the persistence of the trillium that symbolizes hope for the human spirit. --Carroll S. Taylor, author, Chinaberry Summer
