If ever there was a woman qualified to write a book on 'the virtuous woman,' Joy Haney is the writer. Among those who know her well and love her- and those who have only just made her acquaintance - everyone agrees she is one of 'those women' whose value soars beyond that of rubies. Having been honored to call her friend for literally decades, I can recommend both the book you are about to read and it's author to you without reservation. -Vesta Mangun
