Lyn Brickles is an amazing, little, English woman who lives in a cottage on a grassy hillside in beautiful rural Silverton Oregon. Her book reflects not only her life on three continents but her wonderful personality that flows through her twinkling brown eyes and her spoken and written words This book of short stories that reflect her life as she grew up in England to her time in Southern Africa and for the last 24 years in America, will find you laughing and crying at the same time I hope you enjoy it as I have.
