This beautiful collection of poems features unique and apt observations of the Great Lakes region where I spent my youth. Each poem includes a personal touch, letting me view tree rings through the author\u2019s eyes, or feel the anxiety of outrunning a sudden thunderstorm. I came away with the same sense of serenity typically reserved for a long walk. The author\u2019s adept word choice and sensitivity to rhythm are surpassed only by her alliterative skill. I\u2019ve been reading a poem each night before bedtime, letting these words fill my mind with visions of natural beauty as I drift off to sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n

Y<\/strong><\/em>ou won’t be disappointed.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\n

My personal\u00a0 favorite is, “Tiny Dancers” located in the “Fall” section on page 22. The opening lines bring us into the fall day…

Books are missionaries!\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

They travel to places we cannot go, and they minister to people we will never meet in person.\u00a0 We never know the distance a book will travel or the many people who will read it.\u00a0 A gift of a book is a gift of generosity and faith.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Final Thoughts from Carol;s Introduction on Page 9:<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n
When I became totally blind, I developed my senses of touch, hearing, smell and taste to see the world.
\nI incorporated visual memories to complete the picture.After two hip replacements, I could no longer walk the woods I loved. My husband and I became a tandem cycling team. This allowed me to experience nature in a different way.I wrote this chapbook of poems after I lost my sight. I found there are many ways to enjoy nature, such as using your hands to explore, along with your other senses.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/h3>\n

Note from Lynda:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I\u00a0 typically read and share books that are personal and witness to living a life\u00a0 that is positive, uplifting and faith-based. I affirm a biblical worldview of eternal life. I recommend books with confidence that you will enjoy reading. I seldom write a book review, however, in this blog I share my own writings and on occasion, writings by others that I appreciate and can recommend with confidence.<\/p>\n

If you purchase and read Carol’s\u00a0 book, please consider writing\u00a0 a short reflection on it – a sentence or two is adequate. It means a LOT to know that you found Carol’s book\u00a0 of value in some way.<\/p>\n
