Reviews: "Being a great believer in the importance of reaching for dreams and harnessing passions to build a good life, I was delighted to read Betty Dravis's and Chase Von's book of enlightening and uplifting interviews. Particularly in light of the state of the world, I thought it was brilliant of these two celebrated writers to share these interviews in a book about people who have reached out and up in their lives to achieve the impossible. Bravo, Betty and Chase " - Susaye Greene, legendary singer with The Supremes "Since the authors are of different generations, Dream Reachers II is a complex, fascinating mix of inspiring high achievers, similar in tone to the first book. If you expect hard-edged journalism and tough questions posed by the interviewers/authors, this would not be the book for you. But the gentler approach provides some revealing views of those being interviewed. Just as the artists interviewed in this book are an exotic blend, so are Betty Dravis and Chase Von. The wedding of these interviews and reflections works nicely." - Steven Peterson, Director, School of Public Affairs at Penn State, Harrisburg, PA
