Customer Reviews

a gentle, loving collection

There are some books that are perfect to read on gloomy days when you're feeling lonesome and this is one of them. Every story is perfect; a small visit with someone you would like to know whose life is in quiet turmoil just edged with hope. Her prose is perfect and compassionate, every detail just right, every word right where it should be. She's a fabulous writer and I'm so sorry to see that her other books are out-of-print!
