When the Parallel Converge

History & Biography

“This is an illuminating portrait of an extraordinary and passionate woman. She offers us not only the important difference between being reared and being raised—she was reared by her grandmother—but also how much richer life is when one uses language properly. Descriptions of persons and places come alive through a colorful panoply of words. Her journeys, on which the reader is given the pleasure of joining along, include reflections on the evolving role of faith and an exploration of the importance of relationships.”
