If you have read and enjoyed Splinters: The Pain, The Passion, The Point we would love to hear from you!

The students have barely stopped talking about you. I must say you are truly an inspiration. As we have tackled practicals and theory lessons the last few days the words " It ain't over till it's over" seems to get repeated over and over. Thank you so much for the inspiration it help when it comes from someone else other than myself. May God Bless! —Debra Blankenship, Cosmetology Instructor, Tennessee Tech Center, Maury Campus, Columbia, TN.

Thank you so much for the encouraging lecture that you brought to our cosmetology students. All of them really enjoyed not only your inspiring lecture but your sweet spirit. Hope to see again you in the future! —Linda Ashton, Cosmetology Instructor, Tennessee Technology Center, Howenwald, TN 

WOW! We did enjoy your program on your book Splinters: The Pain, The Passion, The Point. Thank you for coming. I can see JP is an added blessing for you as your publicist. Let us know if you ever write another book. God Bless,—June Hurst, Brown Bag Book Review Coordinator, Bristow Public Library

[Barbara] did an amazing job.  Her [presentation] delivery was smooth, polished and she gave just enough to make you want to buy the book. —Chris

Hello to Barbara and all. I got your link from the WWGOA newsletter. I have an interest in small box making that I haven't cut into yet. I'll keep Splinters in mind. I'm not a high end or production woodworker but I browsed the CabinetMakers magazine and found it informative. Thanks. —JonP

You are an amazing woman for the things that have happened to you.  My hat is off to you.  And George Jones the pit bull wow what an amazing body guard.  We love dogs and that was such a great thing he did for you all.  Dogs are alot smarter than people give them credit for. —Sherry

I have to say this is one of the best books I have ever read—Tim

I had a hard time putting it down. You inspire lots of people for pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. I am recommending this book to a friend in NY. —Sheryl

Well, I think you have a winner. You have much talent in your writing. The book was everything you promised. I wish you all the luck you deserve. Keep on trucking and writing. —Pearl

Thank you so much for the book. I never dreamed when I made that picture of the children at Copperas Branch School that it would show up in a book. The teacher was holding my son, David. His dad was in Germany and hadn't even seen him yet. So that picture was made in 1952. I'm reading it and enjoying it. —Eunice

I started reading this book and could hardly put it down. Write another one. You need to have this one put in a movie. —Ruby

I loved this book...it is so real....so funny...  The way you tell the different stories just captures you and you have to find out what happens. Two thumbs up! —Lynn

What a story! You are one tenacious woman! —Leigh

This book is an encouragement to all who read it. I've shared my copy with several friends and they've all asked for their own copies. Everyone can identify with something in the book. Barbara (my grandmother) was a tough woman who got through tough situations. Thanks for writing your story and sharing your triumph with the world! Thanks for allowing me to be a part of this story. —J.P.

I really enjoyed the FBI story.  Pretty cool! —Davis

Mom,  I loved your book. I am so proud to be your daughter!  You have a knack for telling it like it is and I know so many people will be able to relate and will be blessed by it.  I LOVE YOU! —Jeannea

Thank you so much for the book.  You did a beautiful job! I will treasure my book forever.  Thanks again and hope to see you soon! —Bob and Jackie

The book was great. Thank you for being so kind to think of me that way. I know that Louise Smith is looking down from heaven and thinking that you feel the same way about me as she did during our friendship. Bless you, —David B. Elder

This easy read is a definite perspective adjuster. You immediately connect with Barbara emotionally and share in her struggles and triumphs. Life can be difficult, but this book causes you to re-evaluate your appreciation of it, despite the day-to-day hardships. Inside, you'll find great stories, renewed hope, and a woman's personal journey laid bare for the sake of bringing hope to those who need it.  –Nicholas

I usually have trouble finishing any book, but I could not put this one down. A great true success story! Highly recommend! –David R.

Most people have talked about the story, so I'd like to mention how great the pictures are. This book is loaded with relevant photos, helping you to really feel like you're right in there. Also makes for a great conversation piece. —Jeremy

This is a great book! I love the pictures and the funny stories. Very easy to read! —Jerrica

It's a bird. It's a plane. No, it's Barbara Howell in that cape and tights accomplishing feats like a true modern-day woman "doing it afraid - but doing it." I read the book. It's an inspiration. —Mz P.

Awesome book. Such determination and fearlessness. Everyone should read this boook. Barbara was determined to support her family and it just took off in ways she never imaged. I am going to pass this book around to my daughters and other family. —Sharon

Barbara Howell is such an inspiration! What an example for those of us who have big dreams with equally big obstacles, Wow!!—Julie

This book is awesome!! The story is captivating and with the pictures, they add an extra element to the book. It makes you feel like you are living it right along side her. GO BUY THIS BOOK!!!—Samantha
