These stories and poems, written by a woman in her eighties, look back over a long real and imagined life, and deal with big issues: redemption, family love, the haunting past, the bonds of friendship, the importance of what remains of life on earth, and the dignity of aging and dying. The stories are told with plain, clear style, a graceful narrative arc, a fitting climax, and a satisfying resolution. The poems are skillfully crafted, whether in free verse or formal, whether the mood be whimsical or somber, about the folly of progress, the wisdom of simplicity, nature, love lost, and the presence of the past.
