young Josephine McAllister, Barjo Restaurant c. 1955, author Emily Foster

"Emily Foster's biography is so honest, so detailed and so utterly guileless that it has a genuine purity."

". . .this is a book about real people. Real, working people. Scores of men, women and children make their appearances on these pages. . ."

"This book is unique. You'll look a long time before you find another like it. . ."

"Jo's life story, because she lived such a long, productive, generous, public-spirited life, and because she worked so terribly hard to make her restaurant a landmark known throughout New England, is surely worthy of the telling.

But it's this book's attention to detail and its unflinching honesty that carries it beyond its straight-ahead prose and makes the story greater than the sum of its parts."

--John Cole, "On Maine Writers," Lewiston Sun Journal, 11/12/00

Jo Stone and Emily Foster

"Dear Emily,

Your book is so lovely - thank you for sharing your story.
I started to read it aloud to my mother but I was only managing a few pages a night and she was anxious to read it. So I loaned her my copy.
She loves it! It has rekindled so many memories for her of familiar times and places and a way of life that she misses so very much...a time when folks had time to share and care about one another. She will be 80 this year and feels a kinship to your "Jo".
It's a wonderful book, Emily, and I sincerely wish you much success with it. May God always smile down upon you and yours."
