Making Memories

The author has lived many lives, in many places, from big city to small village to remote cabin. Growing up in Germany during the lead-up to World War II and through the war itself, she experienced the cacophony of war, and much later, the silence of the Alaskan wilderness punctuated only by the high-pitched call of a bald eagle. Wife, single mother, widow. Bartender, waitress, tour guide, caregiver, mentor, teacher, student. Pragmatist, poet. Sustained by faith, friends, and the natural world. Through prose and poetry she shares thoughts and experiences both unique and universal.
