Superbly researched, written, and presented in word, sound and images.
- NATIONAL ABOLITION HALL of FAME and MUSEUM, Peterboro, NY
It is a MAGNIFICENT achievement. The visuals bring every aspect of the story to life, and the narrative does justice to all the complexities and subtleties both of Child's biography and of the abolitionist movement. I loved the way you used Child's letters. And I loved Diahann Carroll's narration. Congratulations! You're doing such important work through the film, not only by bringing Child back to the public, but also by reintegrating the movement for racial justice and equality and forging new links between Black and white progressives.
- Carolyn L. Karcher, professor and lead Lydia Maria Child historian
I enjoyed it immensely. I think you did a marvelous job of giving Child the stature she deserves among the abolitionists. Her character and accomplishments are beautifully delineated and you weave her story into the story of the times with great skill. I am honored to have been a part of this enterprise.

Dear Constance, Many thanks for this!
Patricia Holland, Co-author of Lydia Maria Child Selected Letters 1817-1880
Thank you so much for this incredible film! I was so impressed with the magnitude of it and with the look. Kudos to the D.P.-- it was beautifully shot--the framing and lighting, lovely. And the look, which had a patina of the past, and with such attention to detail. My you worked hard and it certainly paid off! The historical nature of it could have been complicated, but you had a good flow that I could easily follow. Anyway, most excellent!
CJ Strawn, Hollywood Production Manager and Set Designer
Constance, You are so bright, talented and committed and a part of the army of believers who tilt at windmills.
Lynda B., Film Critic
Hello, Constance, The DVD is wonderful! I am so impressed with LMC's courage and determination - I had no idea she accomplished so much against such great odds. She is truly an inspiration for all of us. And, your depiction, taking in the historical context as well as her life, is an outstanding history lesson in its own right.
Bill Mc Ilvride (Descendant of LMC's husband, David)
