Playing Life by Ear: Notes from Eighty-Nine Years of Living, Learning, Laughing, Loving, and Believing

Her serious poetry is thoughtful, her light verse delightful. This is a side table book for easy reading moments, and a perfect gift for the one who says "PLEASE, no more gifts unless it is small, can be used right now, or is something to eat." .

It appeals to those who are religious, those who consider themselves spiritual and those who profess neither but have an interest in pursuing the meaning of life. A potpouri of gifts, this is a remarkable and soul-filled collection of writing. - Addie Scheve, author, motivational speaker, former Nebraska Mother of the Year.
