I felt so silly as I sat for an hour in [the bookstore]...reading, tearing up a bit, and mostly smiling, remembering Camp DeSoto! . . .  As we were discussing your book, we broke into song..."I want to go back to Camp DeSoto..." - RT

It's wonderful that you captured the story behind the story of so many camp traditions.  - SB

Thank you again for helping us to "remember" and for honoring Brad in such a tangible way. This book certainly honors the Lord. - GC

The history of DeSoto was fascinating and every other page conjured up all sorts of wonderful memories.  - DR

Your book has captured what makes that place so special. For me, it was a rock, a steady place that never changed. - SP

I still talk about Camp DeSoto all the time (I even get caught singing a song or two) and now I can share DeSoto in another way with friends and family.  - MCS
