SAY YES! TO YOUR CREATIVE SELF
by MARY O’CONNOR

FROM MY BUTTON BOX
by JUDITH BRUDER

“There’s a gracious tenacity to these essays, an elegant insistence that meaning can be found amid loss, whether of a dear husband of fifty-eight years, or of sustaining companionship during a pandemic, or of a seemingly endless future in an octogenarian’s life.”

Robert Braile, a former book critic for The Boston Globe

“Evidence of Flossing is a most unusual book, richly thoughtful and sorely, sorely needed.”

Nancy Fitz-Hugh Meneely, author, Letter from Italy, 1944

EVIDENCE OF FLOSSING

Joel Helander, author, Town Historian, Guilford, CT

EVIDENCE OF FLOSSING
by JEN PAYNE

“Evidence of Flossing: What We Leave Behind…is truth and beauty delivered to us in wide-eyed wonder by a child’s heart passionately in love with nature.”

Rita Kowats, Spirituality Without Borders

SLEEPING WITH GHOSTS
