MY LATEST RELEASE
AN UNPRESENTABLE GLORY
Linda Jensen leads a relatively quiet life in Westchester County, New York, as the owner of a highly-acclaimed garden. Inherited from her parents, the garden is her pride and joy. What is not so joyful is finding a strange man sprawled near her delphiniums! The mysterious man is sick, unable to do anything more than drink water—and beg for secrecy. Ignoring all alarm bells, Linda sees to his needs, but her caring act takes on unexpected significance, an unpresentable glory.

A Surprise Party
The scheduled arrival of our guests coincided with a Gala Celebration we needed to attend. Okay—just tell them where the house key is; come in and make yourselves at home. Did they ever! We arrived home at 9 PM to find them at table, eating pancakes and maple syrup....
God of Empty Lines
My first prayer notebook from years ago had belonged to Joe Montibello, one of my husband’s philosophy students. It became mine—a disreputable, recycled derelict with mangled spiral and tatters of ripped-out pages for me to record on-going requests—Kelly’s chronic...
