Paintings from Dean’s Strata series serve as background for each page of the award-winning The Book of Comforts. The book is a Silver Finalist Winner of the Benjamin Franklin Award.
Blue Epiphany Publishing turned to Dean first to design the book cover, then, to design the entire book using her Strata series.

"Working with Dean Andrews was a writer/publisher's dream come true! Her artistic creativity and honed skills are blended with a rare combination of professionalsim and personal caring that made our project a deeply pleasurable collaboration — which show on every page of our award-winning book. It was more than a comfort to work with her it was a joy and a privilege."                                                                        — Patricia Alexander and Michael Burgos
