A life of high mountains and deep valleys, actually traveled or emotionally experienced, is recounted in this memoir. The events of 9/11 and war with Iraq add relevancy to many of her poems as they offer a perspective on surviving tragedy and the loss of loved ones.

She is an enthusiastic member of The Explorers Club, The Sheet Music Society and The Travelers Century Club.
