"Marc's Violins in Flight is a riveting and revelatory account of a remarkable man's journey for self-discovery as he sets out to explore his tangled family relationships. Throughout he recreates stark, powerful experiences while asking questions we all must ask about our past and the paths we take in life.  His remarkable journey introduces us to a gallery of diverse and interesting people so important to his quest for self-knowledge and self-discovery. Ultimately he turns his focus to the Man in the Mirror, digging deep inside his own unconscious to avoid the mistakes others made and to understand their effect on him.  In a sense we witness him "save" himself and move forward with a new self-awareness. Funny, sad, moving and powerful, Marc's Violins in Flight is quite a read."

"Violins in Flight was so many things that I don't want to insult it by just saying it was amazing.  I was blown away by it."

"I struggle to describe my feelings about the book, and I've deleted and rewritten numerous attempts to explain why in this space.  Here's the bottom line: whether you thought you knew Marc already or maybe he's a total stranger to you, this is such a well written story that you will be drawn into his world and you'll be compelled to continue.  It's like consuming a mouth-watering meal after working hard all day.

​

"HOWEVER, at the same time, some of the material is challenging.  Very challenging.  Not pretty or delicious, but ultimately redeeming and worth every minute spent devouring it.  This work is not necessarily 'about' honesty, bravery, perseverance and devotion, but it 'is' all of those things.  Bravo to Capt. Snader!"

"You write so beautifully, Marc.  I love the way you told your story and I know your book will touch many lives. Violins in Flight touched my soul.  I couldn't put it down."

"Memories of a 'Leave It To Beaver' neighborhood, where behind closed doors violins played, hearts broke and family secrets abounded.  Marc's Violins in Flight is raw and yet hopeful at the same time."

​

​

"Journeys of self-discovery can be both painful and arduous, and they inspire questions that are mostly unanswerable, but constitute a priceless and necessary part of being fully human.  Snader writes about his own voyage of self-discovery in clear, graceful prose with humor and poignancy.  This is a fascinating read for anyone who's ever searched for meaning beyond the commonplace vicissitudes of life."
