From one review of "Yours Till Niagara Falls":

"...born of a more innocent era...a kind of autograph source book. It brought back joyful memories to her and her sister. These aphorisms on life are still vivid, clear, clever, humorous, and fun."



Other books of hers:

And from Goodreads:

"A guide for the college bound girl in 1949 pretty much works for 2014. A lot of wisdom for any freshman."
