| Author | May Sarton |
| ISBN | 0393313905 |
This is the sixth of Sarton’s journals I’ve read. It covers 1975–6, when she was 63–4 and in her second year in Maine. Her health is not yet a worry, at least as compared to later journals, but there is a faint sense of diminished abilities and an awareness of death’s approach. Poetry has run dry...

April 21, 2014 review (2nd reading): What I find amazing about this little book is that a large portion of it is not relevant to me and I STILL get a great, great deal out of this book. This book was written by a leader within the LDS faith for other Mormons and I'm an evangelical Christian; and so many of the...

First of all, it should be noted that the audio is really a "fireside talk" and not the same as the book.
On a second reading, I have to give this five stars... absolutely wonderful and amazing story. It is hard to find such Christlike examples outside of the scriptures and Jesus Christ himself....
