What Endures

These beautifully written stories and poems - penned over the course of more than four decades - explore the author's search to find herself. After losing her mother at age four, she spent the better part of her childhood at a Midwest boarding school, with summers at an out-of-state camp and staying with relatives in New York and Connecticut. These were difficult times, for she was never quite certain just who she was or to whom she really belonged. But she endured.

With insight, humility and humor, the author takes the reader on a rich and rewarding journey through her life, a journey that ended in California where she would become a loving mother and wife, a highly regarded magazine editor, and an award-winning author.

What Endures will endear the reader to a woman who never gave up, who never let the darker or more difficult times extinguish the twinkle in her eye.
