I always thought we had a good book with an important story to tell, but there was always the little fear that I might have been viewing our work in an overly positive light. I not only gained renewed faith in the manuscript and a positive direction to follow for publication after our consultations with Mrs. Agyeman, but we have recently signed a contract with an informed and enthusiastic publisher. My only regret is that we did not meet Mrs. Agyeman years ago.”

—Sharon S. MacDonald, co-author, Carrying the Colors: The Life and Legacy of Andrew Jackson Smith, Medal of Honor Recipient (Westholme Publishing, April 2020)
