“A beautiful balance of cherished memories (Walks, Chestnuts, and My Father) and lessons learned (Liberation from Fear), woven with threads of gentle conviction to live and believe in the best yet coming! A heart-forward account of journey and promise – finding permission to admit how what we think is not all we know, and how the tapestry of words can unlock healing adventures in artistry through difficult times…More of what we all need now.”
