Dear Eleanor,

How delighted I was to receive from Barbara your little book, Eleanor Jo - A Christmas To Remember!! It was devoured in one reading ~ taken in with joy and delight.

The descriptive writing is so crisp and clear that I could "see" the rooms of the house, the snowfall, the Christmas tree, and "smell" the holly as well as the popcorn.

I loved every minute of attending the lovely party at Mrs. Urschel's house and the special Christmas Pageant with you. Enjoying the beautiful windows of the Neiman Marcus Department Store, and the walk through with dazzling objects on every side evoked precious memories from my own childhood.

The "Christmas Journal" and Fun Facts sections of the book add a special treat at the end of the book ~ a little Christmas gift!

Thank you for the personalized greeting. Eleanor Jo is a Christmas to Remember ~ it is truly a treasure.

Gratefully,
Bonnie

Mrs. Clark,

My name is Hannah. You signed my book yesterday in the bookstore. I wanted to tell you that me and my mom started the Eleanor Jo book last night. I just CAN'T WAIT for the next book to come out.

PS Thank you for writing those books

My grandaughter is 12. I gave her your book Eleanor Jo A Christmas to Remember. She enjoyed it so much, I wanted to get her more books like that. I see you have the new series but how do I go about ordering them.

Please let me know.

Thank You,
Patsy

I could not resist to open the Christmas gifts you had sent me ahead of the time. I am deeply moved by your gesture, and especially by the book so well written by your mother.

Eleanor Jo must be you. The portrait on the book cover must be you. I read Chapter 6 and 7 first as you had suggested, and was deeply moved. What a lovely family and what a wonderful child!

I am so previleged to know you and to have this book. Thank you so much. May you have a Merry Christmas with God's blessings always. May I always have you as a friend.

A Christian, Heart-Touching Story For Children

We purchased four of the Eleanor Jo books for Christmas gifts for little girls on our list and after reading the book, we intend to order several more. We will be proud to give this book to any young children. We began reading the book, just to review the content and could not put it down. It brought back many early memories of Christmases and reminded us of how much things have changed in today's world. We are looking forward to Eleanor Clark's next books in this series, which we understand will be published this next year.
