"Hello Ms. Zurub, I am a 25 year nurse vet myself, currently taking up residence at the University of Michigan for the last 20 years. I loved your story!!!!!!!!!

We wrote to Amazon requesting MORE books...we also wrote to the Plain Dealer Reporter (McIntyre) and told him what a great article... You have made an impression!!! Thank you for being the voice, having the courage, and the perseverance to get a message of feminine strengh out into the universe..." JF

The Cleveland Plain Dealer writer, Mike McIntyre states,
"You are a Renaissance Woman!"
"Empowered, Strong, Feminine, Inspiring, and multi talented are just a few of the words that come quickly to mind upon meeting UBU."
Laurie Chesbrough, Artist and Fashion Expert, featured on WJW-FOX 8, WKYC TV3 Cleveland.
"She was my angel. She made all the difference."
My frightened patient Kevin, from Hawaii who was undergoing Open Heart Surgery.
"She carefully matched her storytelling performance to reflect the shifting emotions contained in the tender story chronicling her mother's life struggles and death, and the exuberant poem she wrote to welcome the birth of her son, Chance. Ms. Zurub, was very professional in her dealings with me, while also projecting a friendly and inviting presence on the day of the event itself."
Carole Wallencheck, in regards to my performance at Tellabration.
"UBU had the crowd in hysterics. She has a fearless style and clever wit!"
SYTYF Competition, Joe Hannum, Writer/Reviewer

Loni Love, LA-based Comedian & former ESPN commentator
"We are called upon to do something new, to confront a no man's land, to push into a forest where there are no well-worn paths and from which no one has returned to guide us. This is what the existentialists call the anxiety of nothingness. To live into the future means to leap into the unknown, and this requires a degree of courage for which there is no immediate precedent and which few people realize." --Rollo May
