Appreciating the Simple

With his usual gift of the "heart felt," and language that is often "vivid and poetic," Czerwinski celebrates the simple virtues of the seasons, reminds us what politics and America should be about, and makes us laugh at our own foibles as he talks about his own.

Here we are introduced to the on-going character of Edna Hill who, in her 70's, loses her husband. Faced with the confusion of sudden loneliness, she struggles to find hope and to remember love in an unfamiliar world she faces alone.

Czerwinski lives and works in the lakeside village of Douglas, Michigan. You can visit him at "www.cottagesoaps.com."
