Sharon Randall is a syndicated columnist for over 400 newspapers. In this book she gives readers pages of inspiration, laughter, tears, and joy. Randalls unmistakably authentic and intimate style vaults her to a plateau few can match as she shares stories of her flawed and familiar clan that are full of people and places youve known, or wish you had.

From the Inside Flap

Stories that inspire, bring tears, bring joy. Stories about the ordinary things that touch our lives. This is the gift that master storyteller Sharon Randall shares with us in Birdbaths and Paper Cranes, a new collection of her most memorable essays.

Randall's writing sytle is unmistakably authentic, and her love of the craft is obvious. Among the many poignant topics she tells us about are her sightless brother's first attempt at driving a car and her husband's courageous battle with a deadly disease. In Randall's hands, even a simple story about a birdbath has meaning. You will laugh and cry, sympathize and empathize. And when you are finished with Birdbaths and Paper Cranes, you will look at life in a different way - a better way.

And you will be grateful for it.
