Description



Family Puzzles: A Private Life Made Public (Paperback) and No Place Like Home: Rooms and Reflections on One Family's Life, signed



by Linda Weltner (Author)



One of life's pleasures for many of us was reading Linda Weltner's columns in the Boston Globe. A friend in Boston would mail copies of Linda's "Ever so Humble" columns to me, before they were run online. I miss being able to read Linda's weekly columns, but thankfully, she left us all with two great column/essay collections. The pieces are timeless slices of family life, beautifully written, to be read and savored any time we need to celebrate the comforts of home life -- real home life.
