"Patience and the Porsche is playful, insightful and invaluable—a must-read for anyone who shudders (or, goodness gracious, lights up) at the thought of sorting through piles and piles of stuff."

"A thoroughly delightful read. Fun, entertaining, and I learned a lot."
—Pam Young
co-author, Sidetracked Home Executives: From Pigpen to Paradise
"Although a work of fiction, this book accurately depicts the everyday life of a professional organizer, including a thought-provoking situation that holds the reader in suspense until its final resolve. A delightful light read that will make you smile."
—Sheila Delson
Past President, National Study Group on Chronic Disorganization
"Patience Oaktree is sure to endear herself to you, as she has to her clients."

Good reading for everyone
I couldn't put it down! Of course, I now have all of these grand plans to get our house organized!

Yesterday your book arrived and today I read it in its entirety - it is an easy read and the story keeps the reader from putting it down before the very last page is read.

It [Patience and the Porsche] made me (almost) welcome the 2 flight cancellations on my way home because they gave me time to keep reading.

I stayed up late this week to read your book, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I enjoyed...the mystery and romance.

It's about time someone wrote a delightful book ABOUT a professional organizer instead of one more boring book on "how to".
—Los Angeles, CA
I finished your book yesterday, and I thought it was very entertaining! I am supposed to be reading a book for a book club this week, and instead I kept picking up your book. Your character patience is very real. I was completely wrapped up in the story and appreciated all the organizing tips along the way. I especially liked how Patience was not as perfect at home as she tried to be with her clients at work. That made me feel much better....I look forward to the next installment in the series!

Do you know what you started? I just took 4 large bags to donate to Goodwill today, and also made $50 on Ebay selling a few things!! And my kitchen cabinets don't have things falling out of them anymore!!! That book was not only entertaining but motivating!

I loved your book: I loaned it to my Mom and she enjoyed it and got a good idea what we Professional Organizers are thinking inside our head while we're dealing with interesting clients....Now I'm waiting for the sequel.
—California professional organizer
I just finished reading your book - It was a most enjoyable and delightful light read! Of course I identified completely with the professional organizer, and it was great to read a novel that showed such insight into the profession. I hope more books about Patience are in the future.
—New York professional organizer
Loved your book! You make me want to kick start my business.... I now have the "patience" and the motivation to move forward.
—Pennsylvania professional organizer
It may be a novel, but I would more accurately describe it as a primer for new organizers, in the guise of a novel....I shall be more than happy to recommend this book to any aspiring P.O.s whom I encounter. It's really a great contribution to our profession.
—Massachusetts professional organizer
I just finished Patience and the Porsche this rainy Saturday morning and found it to be a great teaching tool AND an interesting read.
—Iowa professional organizer
Just finished Patience and the Porsche - what a delight! I especially enjoyed Patience and her husband's dinners. Appetizers! How genteel! And it was so interesting to read a day-to-day account of what we POs do. Much was familiar....Hope you're planning more adventures for Pat!
—Michigan professional organizer
I thoroughly enjoyed your book - and now I recommend it to all of the would-be organizers who take the "should I become an organizer?" infosession I do for POC [Professional Organizers in Canada] who want to know what it is like to be a Professional Organizer.
