Scattered Leaves Press is pleased that reviews are coming in for Sharon Carmack’s biography of Maria B. Hayden:

On Amazon U.K.: Sharon DeBartolo Carmack has gathered so much information about Maria over the years and has completed her mission to a great standard, job well done, fantastic book. Lorna Harper

On Goodreads: Sharon Carmack’s definitive biography is…a tribute to Maria Hayden’s “great ability and worth” and I recommend it for its comprehensive original research combined with a sympathetic tone and enjoyable storytelling. Melanie Alberts

On Amazon.com: Major props to the author for her diligent and fruitful research, and for organizing all this information into an engrossing and entertaining work that held my interest from beginning to end…Dr. Hayden's journey from spiritualist pioneer on both sides of the Atlantic, to pioneering woman physician in New York City toward the end of the 19th century, should be of interest to a wide variety of feminists, sociologists, spiritualists and students of modern Western history. Highly recommended! Mark Dalton
