In the words of Detta's nephew, Mike Pender: "I consider life to be like a library book. It is borrowed for a short time but must eventually be returned to where it came from. Within the pages of your book, a pinto bean farmer's daughter has created a best seller. It is a story of love, loss, learning, inspiration, adventure and triumph. Truly the world is a better place for having known your tale".
