I am a librarian working for the Brooklyn Public Library/Business Library and Mardi-Ellen Hill is a local resident of Brooklyn Heights and patron of our library. Over the course of the last few years she has shared with me the Barrington family saga along with the surprisingly innovative story model. The encryption melodies are hidden in a musical order that will pull the reader into this great tale. Hill utilizes literature and music as well as technology and education so as a librarian and reader I am hoping her work receives the attention it deserves.

Sincerely,

Nancy O’Brien
