edit data

Retired from the post office, Liz Flaherty spends non-writing time sewing, quilting, and doing whatever else she wants to. She and her husband Duane live in the old farmhouse in North Central Indiana they moved to in 1977. They’ve talked about moving, but really…40-plus years’ worth of stuff? It’s not happening. It would require removing old baseball trophies from the attic and dusting the pictures of the Magnificent Seven, their grandchildren.
Liz thinks one of the things that keeps you young when you quite obviously aren’t anymore is the constant chances you have to reinvent yourself.

Liz Flaherty liked Nan Reinhardt's review of A New Kind of Hope: "Jed and Fiadh (Fee)'s story is proof that you can go home again--as long as you recognize that home is going to be different and the people you thought you knew will be different.
