both experience and delicacy, she describes emotions and  middle age
survival . The short stories and memoirs      explore the trials and exhilaration
associated with life's turning point  The book compiles several of Dodd's
award   winning stories and poems.

neighbor are vying for her attention, as well as her new friends in an

remembers her as a girl, but denies his feelings for
her. During Ann's nightmares she screams about
killing someone. He knows the authorities are looking
for her because when she left her home, so did a            
million dollars.
"Amidst the shifting sands of our economy, your book
is a fresh break from all the turmoil. With each writing,
you bring new energy to your ideas. The flow of
these ideas and the dialogue supporting them
appear natural. It really is your best book. I enjoyed
the unraveling of Lise's dilemma and the sex was
beautifully  restrained. Your natural understanding of boats and sandy
beaches
paints accurate pictures that underlie the plot. With Carl Hultman's painting
inviting us
inside the covers, you have combined a partnership that encourages readers
to
'come on in'."  ML Miller
