Honest writing-from-the-heart...sensory and delicious! Writing prompts are presented with lush descriptions of meals served with the narratives: "De Vinci ravioli with pine-nut roasted pepper sauce & tiramisu... Spinach Pockets & mom's Peach Cobbler.""

Writing, melded with dedication and friendship, tied three women together for nearly twenty-five years.

We three are not professional writers. We are women who love to craft words in a variety of ways. A writer is anyone who is compelled to sort out ideas, emotions, and facts of life through the act of writing stories, poems, essays, or journals. Writing expressed in these ways helps the writer examine their life and the universe in which they exist. The beauty of a writers' group is that you find a safe place to articulate your views, inspirations, and imaginations.

Herein is the arc of our journey as a group with some of our compositions and commentary on the group. We ventured away from our desks, exploring outside our group, diverse avenues for inspiration, together and separately. We hope you enjoy our writing journey as much as we enjoyed putting our discoveries on the page.

Our book is dedicated to those who want to have that safe place to practice the craft of writing with the comradery of other writers who support their efforts.
