“Gretchen was a dream to work with. She is a solution-oriented publicist who is also thoughtful and kind. She created a unique campaign for my book that garnered premiere media coverage—particularly radio. She secured my appearance on NPR’s Fresh Air, which gave the book incredible visibility! NPR moves books and helps authors establish a loyal readership. People came to my speaking events in cities across the country because they heard me on NPR. I would absolutely hire Gretchen again.”

“This engaging history crackles with admiration for the women who served in the U.S. Army Signal Corps during the First World War, becoming the country’s first female soldiers. Operating switchboards in France, they juggled constantly shifting lists of codes and connections, worked fast amid artillery blasts, and mastered the “genteel diplomacy” needed to communicate with officials in French as well as English. Their technical skill was matched by what one woman called the “great, unquenchable, patriotic desire to do my bit.” Cobbs intercuts front-line activities with political battles on the home front: the women returned from victory to an America that did not yet grant them the right to vote.” – The New Yorker

“[A] zany, surreal terror-ride into the bush trying to get supplies, acquiring reluctant customers, hiring courageous agents to seek buyers, sidestepping the local priests and ever-demanding law… At times improbable yet always comic and wise, Alexander’s tale of the brothers making a business pitch to Africans renews our understanding of service, need, and determination in the global village.”

From the remote villages outside of Kathmandu comes a remarkable true story of hope, passion and the unwavering resilience of the human spirit.
