Testimonials from Readers

"This book delivers its important messages as though Short were sitting in the living room, sharing her stories with you as a friend. 'Wisdom Daddy Taught Me' is a gift that will stay with you, and touch your life long after the last page has been turned."

Shad Helmstetter, Ph.D.
Author of "Who Are You Really And What Do You Want?"

"I laughed out loud as I read the stories told by this gifted writer. The book is a must read for teenagers searching for purpose and identity, adults who were not blessed with wise and loving parents, and parents who struggle to teach their children how to survive and thrive in this complicated world."

Joan Gruber, Certified Financial Planner
Author of Your Money: It's a Family Affair

"Books such as Wisdom Daddy Taught Me can help to prepare young adults in basic money-management principles that many are not receiving in our nation's schools.

Dara Duguay, Executive Director
Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy

"What sets her book apart from those written by Suze Orman (The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom) and Thomas Stanley (The Millionaire Next Door) is its intensely personal, indeed autobiographical context."

Robert Morris,  Amazon.com Top 10 Reviewer

"...one of the most touching, beautiful things I have ever read."

Shireen Janti, Parent

"...for everyone who truly loves their children."

Jeff Crilley, Fox 4 News, Dallas

"Filled with warmth, humor and love, Wisdom Daddy Taught Me gently leads the readers to develop a prosperity consciousness that can change lives. An easy read and a wonderfully inspiring alternative to traditional financial how-to books!"

Gerri Detweiler, Author of The Ultimate Credit Handbook and Slash Your Debt

"Suzanne's book has many practical and down-to-earth solutions to basic financial concepts, with childhood experiences that will make you nostalgic for a time with life seemed much simpler. The lessons are as applicable to today's youth as they  were then. You will enjoy it."

Ed Douglas, Chairman/CEO, Citizens Bank & Trust, Chillicothe, Missouri
Author of Making $1,000,000 with Only $2,000

"When Given a choice between seeking money and seeking wisdom, seek wisdom and you will have both. Money is simply the result of appying principles that create value in the lives of others and in the world. This book will be a beginning in your search."

Jim Stovall, President, Narrative Television Network

"Suzanne's title is spot-on--and at the same time a pleasant misdirection. Through anecdote after delightful anecdote, she offers us (with generous help from Honey!) timeless wisdom clearly and persuasively. What she doesn't say is that she's also quietly bequeathed us one of the best books ever on parenting. Honey was one of those blessed few, who could say "Do as I do" as well as "Do as I say." Listen to him and learn character and finances; watch him. . . and learn parenting."

C. Frank Seay III, Father

"The "chapters" are all extremely well-written, poignant, and full-bodied. The "style" is wonderful, very ladylike, warm reminiscences about family and finance. It is a style and message that crosses all generations. Truly an unforgettable path from an unforgettable father who speaks to us all."

Judy B. Spira, Ph.D.
Professor, University of North Texas

"Life lessons in beautifully detailed stories that pull you in. From seeds of wisdom you develop a better understanding of who you are and who you can be. Wow, if only everyone would read, internalize, and allow this investment to compound within themselves!"

Jeffrey L. Magee, Ph.D., PMD, CSP, CMC
Author/Speaker/Entrepreneur

"Financial lessons taught through delightful, yet inspiring vignettes. Thoroughly enjoyable and thought-provoking read."

Victoria Girdziunas, President, No Magic, Inc.

"A highly readable book about the past and the future. It's about money and more; the advice is sound and real; the path is straight - personal and forward. Buy the book and read it."

Dennis McCuistion, "Recovering Banker", PBS Talk Show Host

"If Sam Potter tells you it's going to rain, you better go buy an umbrella."

Hazel Dunn, Sam's friend

"Suzanne's book captures keen insights of her Dad's wisdom and zest for life. I invite you to read and reflect on the wonderful "tidbits" of helpful information and advice."  

Jim Caswell, Vice President - Student Affairs, Southern Methodist University.
