Loved This Book

Abigail is keenly and lovingly observant. The smallest event becomes a meditation, a prayer or a laugh. This is the most recent of wonderful collection. I have savored each and every one of them, especially "Safe Keeping". Abigail's ability to face life head on is refreshing, I love Still Life at Eighty, and buy copies for all of my over 60 friends. It is like a cashmere shawl for the soul.
