A Mighty Social Force is the important and long overdue biography of Phebe Hanaford, one of the key suffragettes who fought for the woman's right to vote. She was also the fourth woman minister to be ordained, a social activist, poet, historian, writer, and a wife and mother. You will be catapulted into her era, which spanned the 1830's to just after 1920, when women won the right to vote. Phebe Hanaford's journals and correspondence, newspaper articles, and historical documents are all magically woven together by Loretta Cody into the rich tapestry that was her life and times.

When I engaged Editing Lane, my manuscript, while well documented, did not include footnotes. Angela Bellacosa's professional opinion encouraged me to let her footnote the manuscript. Her work transformed the manuscript into the professional document that went to press. Over the months I found Angela Bellacosa easy to work with and prompt in meeting our agreed upon schedules. I believe I made an excellent choice and recommend her professional services.

A beautifully poetic, autobiographical novel that tells the story of a courageous young mother who struggles to overcome the ravages of polio during the WWII and post-WWII eras. The Ramp recounts the story of the onset of polio and the challenging treatment and rehabilitation that followed for one spirited woman and her loyal husband, neither of whom lost hope that they would create a good life together. Left paralyzed and bound to a wheelchair, through the force of her human spirit, Delores Olsen secures her natural right to participate in life meaningfully as a wife, mother, and daughter in a time when most polio sufferers lived their lives in shame as forgotten shut-ins.

It was a stress free experience working with Angela. Her diligent attention to every detail was impressive, to say the least. Now I feel extremely confident in sending The Ramp into the reading world and will, without a doubt, when needed, look no further for a caring, personally involved, and excellent editing professional. Thank you, Angela!
