[Charlotte Davis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such beautiful poetic essays! Some brought a few tears, others smiles & laughter, but all with a pervasive peace!

[Cassie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Beautiful poetry that at times brought tears to my eyes. Poignant thoughts about home life and domesticity in general, but with a thoughtful eye towards the little details that I love about homemaking.

[Robin Harris · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed her writing style and the way she sees significance in the most mundane places. Some of the sketches are pretty heart-wrenching, despite the appearance of being a soft, easy read.
