The Writing Lesson: Stories and Poems

A man going blind tells his little girl, "You will have to be my eyes now." Determined to keep her promise, she begins to look more closely at the world and eventually becomes a writer. This rich, sometimes humorous collection of prose and poetry reflects one woman's journey through experience, both personal and universal. From the simple wonders of nature to a haircut gone wrong, each piece captures her appreciation of "abundance undeserved."
