| Deft, clever, and moving. I have to believe this author had direct experience with Alzheimer's, as every detail rings poignantly true. | |

"It is a delicious thing to write, to be no longer yourself but to move in an entire universe of your own creating. Today, for instance, as man and woman, both lover and mistress, I rode in a forest on an autumn afternoon under the yellow leaves, and I was also the horses, the leaves, the wind, the words my people uttered, even the red sun that made them almost close their love-drowned eyes."

Keep foisting, Stephanie :-) And I can't imagine a friend with better reading taste -- The Witch of Blackbird Pond is one of my all-time favorites!
You are so welcome. I bought a copy as soon as I got my next paycheck and since then have been foisting it on as many people as I think would appreciate it. So far all good reviews back. ^_^ Thank you for your friend request; it took me a moment to figure out that an actual author was trying to get in touch with me. lol.
Thanks so much! It means a lot when a reader takes the time to get in touch with an author. And good luck with your own writing -- poems are the best way I know to get inside your own feelings and give them as a gift to others. Keep feeling them!
