"Congratulations on this remarkable achievement."

 "Oh, those Greeks. They brought us The Fates, but they met their match in American Patricia Volonakis Davis. She faced a destiny expected of so many women, but had the courage to discover her own path. Harlot’s Sauce is an entertaining and ultimately uplifting story of family, friends, and feta, that countless readers will surely love and see themselves in. We don’t all need to travel halfway around the world to Greece to find ourselves, but you’ll be glad Patricia did."
                

         ─ Kemble Scott, bestselling author of SoMa and The Sower

"A compulsively readable, cross-cultural memoir...Patricia Volonakis Davis has written a candid story that is both hilarious and heartbreaking, about a woman who discovers who she is and her true potential."
        

    ─ Wendy Tokunaga, author, Love in Translation, Midori by Moonlight
 

"Patricia becomes the girlfriend you cheer on, cry with, and just plain enjoy. She’s brave, she’s very funny, and she’s written what is destined to become a best seller."

"Inspiring, great read"

             ---Greek Star

“A great read, often humorous but always honest, Patricia presents what it’s really like to be the new Italian-American daughter-in-law in a Greek-American family by opening doors most families keep closed."

      ---Gil Mansergh KRCB-FM’s “Word By Word: Conversation with Writers

You’ll love and identify with Patricia's insights,  in retrospect, on life, love, cultures, friendships, conscious mothering, running a business in an adopted country, wifely duties, and a domineering mother-in-law, generously spiced with wretched dogs (and their owners), flying cock roaches,  baseball bats, harlot’s sauce, and a no-account woman who smells bad.  As she cavorts through a couple decades, often laughing at herself, you see innocence retreat and a strong, self-reliant woman come into full bloom, holding no grudges and willing to share herself and the sauce with all of us.

"I have this huge grin on my face right now. The kind of grin that you get when you remember something funny from your past. The food and the religion had me rolling. I love the “Revelation Delegation.” That took some creative thinking. The part where her grandmother says, “If I live, I will go see my sister in Italy,” made me immediately think of my own grandmother. This was hilarious. Davis writes well, bless her heart, toof, toof, toof..."

" I am touched that you would include me in your book - the short bit I read made me sit back and think about all the women I have met over the years in Greece. I look forward to reading the whole thing."

        ---Pam Bourazanis, Director, Make-A-Wish Greece  

"A rich, colorful tale. I laughed out loud."

     ---Barbara Gates, speaker, editor and author of Already Home

"Tall, dark, handsome, AND a great big Greek handful, are the words that came to mind when I recently read Patricia’s Fabulous new book, Harlot’s Sauce, about her marriage’s roller-coaster ride. I’m sure many women will be able to relate to the challenges she faced within a multi-cultural marriage, moving to a foreign country, learning a new language, and starting her own business.

I looked forward to reading a couple of chapters every night and didn’t want to see it end. She became the girlfriend you cheer on, cry with, and just plain enjoy. She’s brave, she’s very funny, and she’s written what is destined to become a best seller."
