The book is written in a clear but engaging manner, neither fawning nor clinical. Readers should find it informative and enlightening, showing the personal lives behind some very public endeavors.

* The Franklin Daily Journal *

The Doc and the Duchess is . . . a labor of love and yet another treasure that the Clowes family has bequeathed to the Indianapolis community.

* Indiana Magazine of History *
