Publisher's Synopsis
Reflections on life from a lively septuagenarian with an ear for words and an eye for stories. Readers will smile and frown at tales from childhood in Midwestern small towns, through abrupt and challenging changes in mid-life, to exploits in maturity. An activist, a laugher, an educator, an intense creative spirit, and a wild rose in bloom, the author encourages us to view life as a gift. May that gift be unwrapped with eagerness, knowing whatever lies ahead is made richer through a deeper understanding of the past.
