Readers will come to appreciate the richness of their family life -- the joys and growing pains of seven people gathered at the same kitchen table where important choices are debated and decided.

This memoir provides rich insights into contemporary American life. -Rev. John T. Harwood, the Priest-in-Charge at St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Lewistown, Pa. and Emeritus Associate Vice Provost for Information Technology at Penn State University Dr. Carline Crevecoeur's book, Pressure Makes Diamonds, should be required reading for parents, teachers, and anyone passionate about educating children in a creative way. - Dr. Edwidge Bryant, Associate Professor of Education and ESOL Coordinator at Flagler College This book is more comprehensive than a perspective on homeschooling.
