I love the brief essays in Terry's book. I use them to help me get a quick good therapy, perspective, attitude of gratitude, smiles, laughs, warm fuzzies, -- its a lot better than watching the news w/ my morning coffee! Terry is magic, good hearted, and a great writer. She describes her experiences without self-centeredness and makes the reader feel good about themselves and their time spent w/ the book, vacationing!Kathleen Williamson, J.D., Ph.D., CD, prose and songwriter, artist, musician, anthropologist, lawyer, etc., Tucson, Arizona
An exquisite artist of language
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Terry Marotta's use of words and language in this book is so exquisite that her phrases catapult you to familiar images. I found myself saying "Yes, that is exactly what that looks like. Yes, I know that feeling exactly." Her fine use of words paint pictures that were delightful. And her handling of everyday life and subjects was fun, at times funny, but always respectful. Having read this book, I am buying it as Christmas gifts for others who love the fine craft of words and I am getting a second of her works for myself!
