A fearless and stunning memoir!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This is a courageous and beautiful book. Bette Husted traverses the inner territories of soul as fearlessly as she takes the reader across the physical landscape which shaped her life. I was moved by this author's ability to capture with such pathos and understatement, issues of great loss and learning.
Eloquently written

I enjoyed this book very much. It is writing in a manner not commonly seen in the post modern era. The author has a capacity with the language that is lost on most modern readers. There is a lot of heart in this book and it shows in every page. If you like stories about exemplary everyday people you should read this book.
