From the Inside Flap
"Three Northwest Crones celebrate their unique life travels - both inner and outer - in this open-hearted and diverse collection of poems. Flashes of insight and rememberings hum through these pages, revealing the many moods of family and legacies, of life-changes and aging, of nature's gifts and of love's enduring ways. It's up to the reader to pause, listen, and perhaps hum along."
