Caregiving 101
Jacqueline Marcell, author of Elder Rage and runs hope of caregiving radio show
"Caregiving 101 is Donna's third book, which is filled with creative caregiving ideas and solutions, amazing true stories, fascinating charts, fun cartoons and an extensive section for keeping track of your loved one's personal and medical information. It's a must-have for caregivers of elders and a valuable gift for your own POA (Power of Attorney)"
Thad S. after reading Caregiving 101 at the local library stated:
"I am very impressed with the content of this book and plan to buy it as a guide while I continue the journey of being my mom's caregiver."
Inside Mom's Mind
Melissa VanBuren: Marketing director at an assisted living residence.
"Inside Mom's Mind is a great story that provides both education on Alzheimer's/dementia and living in a 'facility' atmosphere as well as an emothional benefit recounting of the feelings and memories of having a loved one with Alzheimer's."
Treasures from the Wreckage
Arnold Clauson, pastor
"I believe that this story is highly therapeutic for anyone who has an ear to hear, and Donna Trickett's style of writing is captivating."
Evelyn Barritt, bereaved parent
"I belonged to a bereaved parent group quite a few years after I lost my son. When I attended those meetings, I met so many people who blamed God for their loss. They carried so much anger that they turned away from the very help they so desperately needed. I think Treasures from the Wreckage would have been a great help to those angry people and to anyone who loses a child. I highly recommend it."
Standing Strong Through Life's Storms

"Thank you for sharing your amazing life story. It's like visiting with a dear friend who asks, 'What have you been up to since the last time I saw you?' and you say, 'Being grateful every day.' You are an inspiration to more people than you know."
