| A sensitive, freckle-faced child discovers the value of her uniqueness in a world where others are bigger and stronger. As her experience grows and her perspective broadens, she gains appreciation for pleasant surprises and gentle victories. Savour images of pink paint and a shoeshine box, adven-tures with a biplane and a water flosser, and discoveries of a mystery building and hidden art. Each ordinary object and situation evokes an extraordinary sentiment. In this first collection, Kathy White shares vignettes and essays describing up-close encounters from childhood to retirement. Her wistful reflections explore her quest for originality and competence, fostered through kindness and support. |
