Both books center around relationships–to nature, place and community. They express a “personal ecology” that is accessible, personal, honest and authentic.
Readers find the short passages make pleasant reading at bedtime or any time you want to pick up a book and open it anywhere and enjoy a short grampa tale or story or everyman-essay, and know you will put the book down with a smile or sigh of satisfaction.
