Remarkable in its clarity probing interactions between the worlds of 'here' and 'over there, ' these stories, with their depictions both stark and intimate, indelibly part the mists for anyone who longs for a glimpse of their true home and real family. You won't get through these pages without both tears and heartfelt smiles. Images sketched with the precision of line drawings, and painted with the gossamer stroke of a water color brush, stay with you long after you've shared it with a friend as a 'must read.' The Changing Room is a Moondance finalist winner, with semi-and-quarter-finalist placing of The Minaret and The Stickspeaker, all contained within the covers of The Stickspeaker Collection.
