Praise for Samantha Terrell

“Terrell is upset about where we as a species are headed. And, who of sound mind wouldn’t be in favour of her stance? . . . Samantha L. Terrell is a voice of reason. In amongst all the chaos in one of history’s most turbulent moments for decades, she makes absolute sense.”

- Stephen J. Alexander

“Samantha Terrell’s Confronting the Elements is an invitation to gentleness and a scream against the follies of a doom-courting era.”

- Lawrence Moore
