Bitter Persimmons An Unlikely Story |
The book, Bitter Persimmons, began as a letter to my children. I wanted them to know about my life and why I had made certain decisions. When they were tiny they often saw me writing in my journal, and now they along with the rest of the world can see what the writing was all about. In spite of the sadness in my life, I have been incredibly lucky in many ways. I have crossed paths with hundreds of wonderful people who have made my life so much better than it otherwise might have been. I am grateful and it is in that spirit that I try to help others. One of my pet projects relates to affordable housing. There are many ways for readers to get involved. Our site has links on every page to important organizations which can use more help. |
