"Wow, if I ever doubt Spirit's work in our lives, I will always go back to Gretchen's writing for inspiration and trust that all is well if we listen. She sure did!" Nancy Macias featured in "Born to Live in Sedona" by Dee Beach. "What a beautiful, heart felt, descriptive life. The magic, the love and the honesty all but overwhelmed me. I felt so close to it, and honored to be there." The messages to inspire, to help growth and understanding stood out elegantly. Delightful, well written. I highly recommend Mother I'm Part of the Sky." - Dana Cummins, Co-Founder Mountain Spirit Co-Op. "Imagine a modern day Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, talking to animals, hearing guiding spirits, while living in a world where a teacher becomes a witch and a princess meets death through fire. Gretchen Vorbeck's magical child in red cowboy boots boldly follows her spirit voices through the shadow of death, past human egos, until she finds in herself the strong, gifted adviser and community leader she was meant to be. She has much to teach us." - Helen Bonner, author MsDemeanors, Cry Dance, Dolphin Papers, & First Love Last.
