Eleanor Lerman Quotes

Memory, faith, and the natural world as both witness to the cycle of human life and healer to a questioning heart are at the core of this lovely and lyrical collection of poems.

In these pages, Laura Grace Weldon shares those signs with us; her poems are the fruit of a wonderful harvest.
