About the author

A renowned southern author, journalist, and syndicated columnist, reported for the Atlanta Constitution from 1941 to 1999. Over her long career, she wrote more than 10,000 columns and many news stories of astonishing range, dealing with such varied topics as politics and key lime pie. Sibley was one of the most popular and long-running columnists for the Constitution, and her well-written and poignant essays on southern culture made her an icon in the South. Regarded by her colleagues as a reporting legend, Sibley was also the accomplished author of nearly thirty books published between 1958 and 1997.

Such a lovely meditation on motherhood. I was lucky enough to have met Celestine, Sibley in Atlanta in the early 80s and I found her to be a delightful person. Her real voice comes through so clearly in her books. It’s just like sitting across the table from her as she tells you a story. And her books always leave me feeling so comforted and warm. Tales from another time. God bless you, Celestine.

Delightful reminiscences about being a mother and grandmother. Two of the best jobs in the world.

"...the moments to sit anad talk of nothing much, to laugh together and watch the light on walls, to savor one another's presence..these are rare moments, so rae it behooves us to recognize them andt o cherish them."
