WITH BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES

OF AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR

HARRIET MAY SAVITZ

Mrs. Savitz made me the publisher I am today.  She believed in me from the day we met over ten years ago, trusted me with her adult non-fiction, and continued to encourage and share her limitless words of wisdom. 

Without her watching over me, Little Treasure would not be the company it is today and I would not be the person I grew into.  Harriet’s strength gave me strength, and I make this promise to her that Little Treasure will continue to publish books of talented authors whose voices are overlooked by many of the large publishing companies.

This passionate writer began writing at the age of 9 and never put her pencil down until she passed on at 75. Mrs. Savitz was not just a business colleague; she was and remains my dear friend and mentor.  Memories of talks on her front porch, walks on the boardwalk, book signings, making angels in the sand, and numerous telephone conversations will remain a large part of me.  I loved her dearly and always will, as her spirit lives on in my heart and soul.  What a privilege for me! What a gift for Little Treasure Books!

To quote one of the many favorite words she wrote, “Life is just one big baseball game.  You never can tell what the outcome is going to be until the very last inning.  Perhaps tomorrow will be the day I hit my own home run.” Harriet May Savitz continuously hit home runs.

On many occasions, Harriet told me that the greatest gift she had been given was that of her two children and all of her grandchildren who she refers to in many of her writings. While it is difficult for all of us at Little Treasure Books to “celebrate” the passing of Mrs. Savitz as the loss of her runs deep, I like many others whose lives she changed will live on, gifted with her words, her laughter, and her love.
