Touched by Friends

About the Book

In this book, Tiffany Field relates meaningful experiences she has shared with her friends and family across her life span. She has modeled this “memoir” after the Spoon River Anthology, with one page allotted to each friend and family member who is given initials, not their real names. She is very grateful for her friends and family, who appear here in brief sketches, and knows she has other friends and family she has yet to remember in a future volume. The photos with faces are near and dear friends who gave their permission, and those who cannot be identified are random photos taken here and abroad.
