Soothed My Grief

A precious friend gave this to me just after my father died last month. It was the most timely, wonderful thing I have ever received. It expressed her desire to comfort and protect me and her understanding that what I was going through wasn't easy....and there wasn't much she could do except show me she cared. What a gift.

A voluptuous and heart-touching book that speaks to the soul

Give this to anyone who is a softy at heart and who loves beauty, flowers, and poetry. Magical reproductions. Each page could be framed.

A feel good book

As an artist and writer and avid reader; I love this book. I read it whenever I want to feel good. I can't wait until Christmas to give it to my artist friends. It is truly one of the most beautiful books I have ever seeen. The art images are beautiful and the spirit of the book is beautiful. I sent it to my new grandson and hope all these wishes come true for him. I can't wait to read it to him when he is older.

This book struck a nerve!

Have you ever experienced the strange sensation that a certain book on the shelves of a store or library has been sitting there waiting patiently for your arrival? It is almost as if the book were waiting there to discover you rather than the other way around. This was my own experience several weeks ago when I entered a small shop called "Through the Garden Gate," which is located in Red Bank, New Jersey. Once inside the shop, it was as if the book's title and cover caught my attention at the same moment. Once I had picked the book up and comprehended its significance, I knew I must buy it whatever it might cost. For me, this book illustrates and articulates the very finest sentiments one might wish to express to anyone one loves a great deal. In this instance, that someone was a newly arrived grand daughter by the name of Lily Grace. So I purchased the book at a very modest price and several days later had the privilege of reading it to Lily. This is indeed a very special book, a book created to be given. One would find it, I believe, both a joy and a blessing either to give or to receive, and that, dear reader, is my wish for you.
