“I read your book though and it was great. Will be helpful for some house work I'm going to be doing soon.”

“From the creativity of the cover designs to the creativity and ingenuity demonstrated by Ms. Charles on page after page of this home maintenance guide, not only is this a necessary read but it's also an enjoyable one. Well done!”

“Lady Power is filled with practical advice from someone who has learned from her experience. An enjoyable read, especially those of us who are not “handy” at all. Arline’s voice comes right off the page and makes you feel like you have the power to tackle any project.”

“My 16-month-old grand- nephew Adiv, who loves to carry random items around the house, really enjoyed walking around with your book.”

“I thought I was a handy DIY girl, but Arline can give a master class. Enjoyed the book!”

You’ve always been resourceful. Now you are sharing with the world.

Wise advice coupled with a can do, will win spirit, this should be a staple of every homeowner’s library.

I needed this book last August.

“This is a very practical and easy to read resource for women and men, filled with useful tips on a variety of key home maintenance topics. The content is organized in a way to make it easy to find what you are looking for. Throughout the book the author provides insightful suggestions. For example ‘If you go to the hardware store as soon as they open, usually around 7 AM you run into contractors and handymen shopping for contracts or jobs they have for the day. They always have business cards and you can interview them or have them bid on a job at a later date.’ I see this as a must-read for new and seasoned homeowners alike.”

As a result of being a homeowner and landlord you have learned so much about Property upkeep that it inspired you to write ✍️ a book about your experience. Your experience turned into a book to help others properly maintain their properties inside and out. I like the fact that you cover everything that you observed as you took care of your house and tenants. It helped me to be more aware of my own house and the care that I have to put in it. And I'm sure this book is going to help others. It is written so that it is easy to read and organized from chapter to chapter to the end. What I like best about the book is that it is from a woman's perspective. A woman who had to take care of these matters herself. And I must say you did a good job. Now both men and women can feel more confident about how to take care of their home owned property. Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience and the Knowledge, understanding, and wisdom you have gained. A powerful lesson: Shop around for the prices and don't procrastinate to fix the problem because the house will not fix itself. The problem remaining we're only getting bigger and become more expensive. Thank you Arline for this powerful lesson.
