The author inspired me, using language that lifted me as I traveled through the vivid landscapes she created. From mountain meadow to swamp I made new friends and recognized old and dear ones within the stories, and – ok – I really did laugh and cry along the way. Reading a book well crafted with language well utilized is such a rare and savory treat. This collection of stories entices and charms the reader – I meant to read only one story, maybe two……but where was my stopping place? I spent the day reading the book, stopping for “vittles” and doing some circle walking to think on my favorite parts. Catherine has written a treasure for us.
