"A delightful, insightful book written in Yiddish and translated into English that contains the poems and life story of Chaya. There is a humility, sensitivity, and depth of insight that permeates all of her writing which makes Chaya 'Glukel' of Dallas."

"Chaya Rochel Andres' quiet, hearty poems are a contribution from a meritorious, sensitive poet with a unique poetic quality. She will most assuredly deserve the joy and recognition on the part of the English reader. We send her our blessings and hope she will live to see her dream of a joyous and peaceful Israel come true, and that her visions of freedom throughout the world be realized, as she herself envisions it:

"Oh, how I long to live to see
In my ripe old age
No more hunger ... and everyone sated be
In every home and cottage"
