- "Karen Stone is a true
professional who takes great pride in her work. Without her help,,
my book would not have been published. She made positive suggestions
regarding wording, pictures, and book cover. She is, in my opinion,
a caring person and an outstanding editor." David

in Grayson County, Virginia, is often humorous, yet provides
valuable insight into the role of a conscientious correctional
professional. |
