5.0 out of 5 stars A stimulating, thought-provoking, heart felt book!, February 3, 2006
This review is from: Glimmer Train Stories, #55 (Paperback)
Each story, written by a talented writer, is unique and thought-provoking. I love reading about the authors too and seeing their childhood photographs. One of the very best parts of Glimmer Train publications is the interviews. I especially enjoy Linda Swanson-Davis' interviews. She seems to have a special gift to be able to get right insde the author's head and gleen true feelings. I feel like I've been part of an intimate small gathering as thoughts are shared. Every issue of Glimmer Train is a special publication! I don't want to miss even one copy.
